ABOUT THE ART

The world isn’t always so black and white, so introduce some pigment to your perspective! Tony Riff’s limited edition I See Colours designer toy puts beauty in the eye of the beholder as classic cartoon style meets a violent splash of rainbow sensibility.

"This piece is actually something I created a long time ago, which to this day is probably still a favourite amongst people that follow my work and has taken a life of it's own..my memory is kinda hazy but at the time of making this I liked the idea of taking this style of character and introducing colour in a surreal way, I guess my idea of a bad trip from the perspective of a 1940s cartoon character would be engulfed in colour!

Long story short I'm a London based illustrator, hugely influenced by cartoons (turns out I lacked the patience to become an animator though). I've always had the urge to experiment with my own style and try different things, but at the end of the day it all comes back to cartoons and creating characters. As well as working full time at a creative agency I also dabble in selling my own merch and collaborating on various art projects outside of the office, chances are I'm always thinking of the next thing to draw while trying to juggle ten ideas at once..."
