Attachment 2 <br /> Proje t Paint Box Artist bio and design description <br /> My name is Tony Bailey. I am a professional artist, illustrator, and <br /> designer. I am the founder/curator of Thumbtack Press, which is <br /> the first open edition online print store for emerging illustrators <br /> and - I'm happy to say-flourished as a business on Main Street in <br /> Pleasanton before it was purchased in 2010 by a larger Chica- <br /> go-based company. After selling Thumbtack Press I decided to <br /> make Pleasanton my resident home, I've lived here since 2011. <br /> I am a Gold Medal winner with the Society of Illustrators, Los Ange- <br /> les and was a speaker at ICON on the subject of visual narrative in <br /> new media. My work has been chosen for Al/AP in New York, and I <br /> was a finalist for two MUSE Awards. I graduated from Otis College <br /> of Art and Design and was fortunate to teach as a senior lecturer at <br /> that institution for two years. <br /> I spend all my free time with my motorcycles and my 11 year old <br /> Son -he attends Hacienda School and is a proud Webelo in Pleasan- <br /> ton Pack 966. <br /> The title of my submission is:Albert 'Shrimp'Burns. It is a tribute to <br /> the tenatious Motorcycle Hall of Famer who has East Bay roots and <br /> - most notably - won three racing events in Pleasanton 100 years <br /> ago(July 5th, 1915), including a 100-mile race. He was a fierce com- <br /> petitor and a crowd favorite and one of, if not the, most popular <br /> rider of his day. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> i;L. t fpry <br /> Bay..01.wA rph:l warred <br />
