Tooney Ty

It was in high school that Ty really discovered a love and gift for art, but it was a Disney’s MGM Studio tour that inspired a love for drawing cartoons.  Ty would go on to earn his fine arts degree at The Ohio State University and continue his art education at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD)..  He landed his first animation job with Nickelodeon in Hollywood, CA, and spent years in the field he loves.

 

Now an accomplished Storyboard Animation Artist, Ty has been featured in many shows including Doc McStuffins, Dora the Explorer, and Angry Beavers plus movies including Disney’s Princess and the Frog, 

Ty carried over his 25+ years of animation experience into Caricatures creating his own cartoon like style that people adore. Ty has been drawing caricatures for over 20 years now and he still “draws” a crowd every time. 

 

Ty is enjoying empty nesting with his wife, Jeni, in Clayton, NC. He has 3 beautiful daughters, Aliyah, Alycia and Sophia and one handsome son-in-law, Gabe. Ty has a deep faith in Jesus and a strong work ethic.  One of his greatest desires in life is for his art to bring joy to you and to others.
