Lorrie’s Pop Life Art Blog interviews Tony

Lorrie from Lorrie’s Pop Life Art Blog interviewed me the other day. Here’s the link and an excerpt below:

Lorrie: Do you think that being a well-known actor has any impact on your career as an artist?
Tony: Having celebrity may influence some people. I've tried not to use or mix my celebrity with my art although it's inevitable. For example, I was very happy and proud to be accepted in the international show at the Louvre last year as I'm sure the French had no knowledge of LITB or my acting/directing career. I'm just beginning to expose my work (about 12 bronze pieces, 30 or so wood pieces and a new series of at least 20 mixed media pieces). The gallery I was showing at in Beverly Hills has closed and I have not pursued other galleries. They say you have to spend at least 50% of your time promoting your work and because I'm no good at promoting myself and not relying on the income from my art, I am just concentrating on the work.

Thanks for the interview Lorrie!
