FOR MORE THAN A DECADE,
Tommy has been exploring and celebrating human potential through drawing, painting, and storytelling - authoring definitive designs and images in the competitive world of entertainment art along the way. As an award-winning concept artist and illustrator, his work has been featured in juried annuals Communication Arts and American Illustration, at the Society of Illustrators, and on the cover of Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art.
Recently, Tommy’s work was among the first-ever digital paintings acquired by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and his design work on Apple TV's breakout series Murderbot won a 2025 Concept Art Award from the CAA.
ICONIC: LET’S GO.
From the New York Times Best Seller list to modern streaming services like Apple TV+, Tommy’s work has deftly differentiated characters and stories, setting the stage for them to become iconic. His hand-drawn, hand-painted approach breathes life into the fantastic and far-flung characters we can’t stop thinking about.
Gideon the Ninth. The Burger Shirt. Murderbot. The best designs take on a life of their own in our culture - because what’s more memorable than an icon?
