Awardwinning satirist artist Tony Baloney Juliano is not your normal painter. With his wacky, single panel, lush, comiclike paintings dealing with quick puns, whimsical sayings, ironic sadness, and his penchant for parodying other famous artists, Tony makes art laughable in colorful complementary painted frames. Tony was born on February 7, 1975. He graduated from Paier College of Art with a BFA in Illustration in 1998 and is a successful freelance artist from 1997 to the present. Tonys resume includes commissioned murals from Corona Beer to The Peabody Museum as well as comics, illustrations, photography, art instructions, back drops and set designs. Being teased and picked on by his classmates, he developed a childish madeup nickname. He was called Agoo. That name hounded him for years, so turning lemons into lemonade and maybe out of spite it seemed fitting that he calls his work AGOO ART. Tony also sells his artwork as magnets, matted prints and comic books at a variety of art festivals, comic cons, online, galleries, museums, and stores all over the world. Tonys shows tend to be more of a circus than your typical art opening. With a following of fans that come as chickens, purple cows, robots, dragons, accordion players, sumo wrestlers, Santa Claus and The CT Roller Girls serving drinks on their roller skates. Even Tony gets dressed up in unique outfits too for his exhibitions. Other interests Tony has are toy collecting, comic books, art history, accordion playing, filmmaker and Godzilla Tony currently lives in Orange, Connecticut at the Agoo Art Studio with his beloved pet, Commander Hamster.
