Tony Kane is an illustrative artist living and working in Sacramento County, CA. In 2022, he earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in drawing, painting, and printmaking from Portland State University. After spending several years reading and copying from classic pen and ink comic strips, he began drawing in earnest at age 10, when tasked with creating greeting cards for a community fundraiser. This began a pen and ink practice that would become a lifelong pursuit. He developed an interest in music in his teen years, and became fascinated with experimental album art. He moved to San Francisco in 2010, where he created band logos and show fliers for his bands from 2011-2014. Since moving to Portland, OR, in 2014, he has worked creating event posters, designing logos, and providing illustration and design services for nonprofits. While at Portland State University, he showed work at the Cascade Paragon Arts Gallery, and had illustrations published in Beyond Words International Literary Magazine. In 2020, he collaborated with designers on the redesign of the Portland State University-affiliated American political blog, Ecomorge, and contributed research and political writings for PSU community projects. His senior thesis project, exhibited in May, 2022, at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU, explored human and animal parallels, empathy, apathy, and misunderstandings.
