Anthony about his work:
"Social commentary has been an interest of mine for quite some time. Whether it be movies, books or other artistic media, it has had a resounding effect on my work. The messages, either positive or negative, can be educational for the audience and can be implemented directly into modern life. All of my work has social messages woven in the concept and visual structure of the images.
The process in which I create my art is much like developing a riddle.....start with the answer and work backwards. I begin with the final product then figure out how to make it happen. I take elements I've drawn, sculpted or photographed and scan them into the computer. Once in the computer, I bring them all together and merge them into one cohesive image. Once I'm happy with my composition, they are then printed with fully archival materials, mounted on board and then finished in oils.
The frames used to display the work are either completely fabricated from scratch by me or are salvaged antique or vintage frames. They are distressed, re-beautified, painted or left in existing condition based on the look I desire."
