Tone Bailey

Artist member since 2023
Toronto, ON

Anthony "Tone" Bailey is a mixed-media artist based in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. Tone’s work features the mixed-media of photography and digital illustration into scenes filled with bright, gradual colour schemes and thematic exploration. Heavily inspired by 1970’s album covers, his work seeks to create slice of life images out of stories of sustainable futures and isolated moments that feel like daydreams.
