Tony Fernandes presents his satirical sketch Dove of Peace to HRH Princess Diana to auction on behalf of UNICEF

‘....................Tony’s cartoons are filled with such joy, great humour, insight and wit but there is always a sense of
compassion about the characters in their silliness and in the ridiculous absurdity of everyday life.......’
with best wishes from Sir Peter Ustinov Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF

‘...I just look out of the studio window and see what nature is up to
- its the perfect source for my material and ideas..’


Self taught Artist Tony Fernandes began drawing and painting at an early age,
the works of Picasso, Gillray, Rowlandson, Giles, Cruikshank and Goya captured and fuelled his imagination.
His first published work appeared on television at the age of 10 when he sent in jokes and cartoons
to the Saturday morning children’s shows and his work has been used by the Medical Research Council.
Tony has established himself as a unique cartoonist influenced by the great satirical draughtsmen
of the C18th and C19th - his cartoons are filled with such joy, great humour,
insight and wit but there is always a sense of compassion about the characters
in their silliness and in the ridiculous absurdity of everyday life.
Honing his talent through the 70‘s and 80‘s he first came to International
notice when the British Government presented his works as part of their official gift to
the Australian Government during the Bicentennial Celebrations in 1988.

Having lived in or near the Peak District countryside he has at various times kept a variety of animals
including Peacocks, Golden Pheasants, Newts, Frogs, Crows, Geese, Chickens, Ducks,
Goats (such a great sense of humour), Sea Horses, Bumblebee and Elephant fish, Rats,
Odd Orphan Barn Cats, Dogs (including ‘Big Jimmy Bean’ the Dingo) and a Parrot called Kipper.

Set Artist and designer for the movie ‘Treasure Island’ with Jack Palance and Patrick Bergen,
those sharp eyed will see cameo appearances by Fernandes as Pirate and Merchant Adventurer and
more recently as Art Director on ’Sea Warriors’- The Royal Navy in the Age of Sail.

With works appearing on cinema, television, magazines, books and DVD, the artist divides his time between
studio painting and traveling to far and distant ports researching, sketching and photographing.

His highly original approach to this subject matter has made his work much sought after in
the Licensing world- with work held in private and public collections
