Tony Randazzo-Illustration-Bio
Tony Randazzo
Tony attended the Center for Creative Studies College of Art and Design in Detroit Michigan majoring in Industrial Design with a minor in Graphic Communications. Detroit is the hub of automotive design and illustration, and it provided Tony with the nation’s leading advertising artists and automotive designers as instructors. Because of their influence and inspiration Tony soon embraced the illustrative part of Industrial Design.
After graduation Tony was hired by the advertising illustration studio McNamara and Associates located in Detroit. McNamara was a leading force in automotive advertising, design and illustration with affiliates in Toronto, New York and Los Angeles. It was this association that involved Tony in many automotive projects ranging from billboards, catalogues and national ads. Some of my illustrations and campaigns generated numerous awards from the immediate and national advertising community. It was through their New York office that Tony became associated with American Artists.
American Artists provided an opportunity to expand into other areas of illustration such as medical, publishing, editorial, consumer goods and the toy and game industry. Our renowned reputation provided me with premier representation across the country.
Although most of Tony's career has been primarily automotive and product illustration, he enjoys projecting an objects personality.
