Award winning satirist artist, Tony “Baloney” Juliano is not your normal painter. With his single, panel, lush comic like paintings dealing with quick puns, whimsical sayings, ironic sadness, and his penchant for parodying other famous artists, Tony makes art laughable in colorful complimentary painted frames. Tony is a graduate from Paier College of Art with a BFA in Illustration and has been a successful free-lance artist since 1997 to the present. Tony’s resume includes commissioned murals, comics, illustrations, photography, art lessons, tattoo designs, and album covers. Tony also sells his artwork as magnets, matted prints, and his new comic book, Funky Garbage at a variety of art festivals, comic cons, on-line, galleries, and stores from California to Rhode Island. Tony has had shows all over the USA and the UK such as York Square Gallery, John Slade Ely House, Stuckism International Centre, The Art Coalition, CBGB’s 313 Gallery, MoCCA, DeCordova Museum, Hygienic Art Gallery, Artescape Studios, The Walker, and plenty more. Some of Tony's influences are William M. Gaines, Daniel Clowes, Julie Doucet, Charles Burns, Chester Brown, Shag, Mark Ryden, and of course Gary Larson. Other interests Tony has are toy collecting, comic books, art history, playing his accordion, and a very obsessed Godzilla fan. Tony currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut at the Agoo Art Studio with his beloved pet, Commander Hamster.
