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?
New York Times Best Selling author Tamsyn Muir, describing Tommy’s work for her hit series The Locked Tomb:
“IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. It's exquisite. Tommy Arnold needs danger pay.”
