Tony Price

I am a graphic designer living in Decatur, Georgia with my wife Jill, our son Milo and dog, Cuja.

The world of art came to me quickly once I discovered that I could draw fairly well. Soon I was drawing anything and everything, but mostly GI Joe, Transformers and the like.

Once I started skateboarding with all the other kids in my neighborhood, my world was opened up to an entirely new universe of music and art through Thrasher Magazine and skate videos. I couldn't stop drawing the various Powell Peralta skulls, the H-Street logo and anything by Andy Howell. It was this love of imagery that attracted me to graphic design several years later.

I still love to draw, and I continue to incorporate that into design when deemed appropriate. Doing custom, hand-painted illustrations on canvas shoes was something I never would have imagined getting involved in, but I did, and I enjoy it as a break from the computer.

As for web design, it's been a strange journey. I went to school to become a graphic designer because I thought (mistakenly) that I could eventually be an editorial cartoonist through that degree (some bad advice from a college recruiter). I took a few basic web design classes sprinkled in amongst the rest and learned the basics of HTML, CSS and Flash. Since graduating in 2002, I have probably spent over 90% of my professional time doing web-related work.

tonyxprice.com showcases some of my recent work in the form of posters, t-shirts, logos, web design, and custom hand-painted shoes. If you have any questions, please drop me a line!
