Biography.
Tony was a rat and an artist. From a young age he created paper cuts from reclaimed paper and, as his work developed, began to include foliage,
fabric and electrical cables. Blair began to work in clay in June 2007, making impressions and sculpting. He went on to collaborate with
housemates, Gordon Brown and ‘Shy Boy’ Archangel Gabriel, to produce a series of avocado sculptures before branching out into culinary expressions, in the form of repackaged spaghetti and noodles.

Projects in development.
Following international press, radio and TV coverage of Tony and his creative endeavours, a number of exciting new projects are now under development.
Talks about a book covering Tony’s life and work are currently underway with a London publisher, and Tony's work is to feature in a BAFTA winning filmmaker’s animated re-make of George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
Tony’s activities have been assisting the research of a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is encouraging a re-think on issues relating to 'intent' and 'work'.
The development of a collaborative dance project referencing Tony and Shy Boy’s mesmerising ‘stand off’ routine is also in discussion.
Tony's blog is now penned by his former house mates Gordon Brown and 'Shy Boy' Archangel Gabriel: Tony Blair Artist Rat's Blog
