Tony tells us all about his education as an illustrator and the advantages illustration affords realist painters like him, why knowing how a gallery works inside and out is necessary if you want to sell your work with one, and why being an artist is all about improvising, overcoming, and adapting both in the canvas and outside of the canvas business-wise. Finally he tells us about his online art academy Zarolla, and the upcoming Night of Artists Show at the Briscoe Museum in March 2024.
