These pen and ink, black and white drawings are sometimes whimsical, sometimes tender, an expression of his fears or a longing for what never could be. Tony did some Christmas cards every year for friends like Anke and Sam Nassi and Doug Lyons. This might be one of them. The landscape in the background is inviting you to dream in it, to escape in it. Sometimes I am asked who owns a painting or a drawing that was posted. Since some are from photographs found in guitar cases or in folders and drawers or because the images find their way to me through friends from friends the whereabout of the work is in quite a few cases unknown ... But as Tony said: You'll recognize me by my brush strokes.
