Tony was born in Kent, England in 1960, his father was a professional jockey and his mother worked in the veterinary field with horses. Tony’s interest in art originally came from his mothers talent for painting miniatures. Tony left school and went to art college in Canterbury for a three year graphics course. From there he moved to London to work in the studio of a large advertising agency. After a chance meeting Tony tried his hand at painting pub signs for a local company back in Kent. His passion for artwork combined with lettering took off and after ten years he branched out on his own.
