Tommy is just one of the best artists around in flickr. The retro-touch, his portraits and the wonderful drawings on his moleskine make him one of my most precious contacts

Sorry to break the news, but Tommy Kane is not a man. He is a machine. A ruthlessly talented relentlessly productive machine. For many years his kind ways and psudo human appearance had me fooled. I considered him the closest of friends untill the terrible truth was revealed. He was designed in secret lab for the purpose of frustrating every other living artist. He is able to produce more great artworks per day, than would be possible by any mere human. Even if anyone were as talented, they would never be able to out produce this juggernaught of art. Damn you, Tommy Kaaaane!!!

I don't know this man from Adam, but I am so impressed by his sketches. He loves detail and that much we have in common, but that is where our commonalities end. I've only learned to draw a couple of years ago and his work is my inspiration to keep on drawing, hoping that some day I can be half as good as he is. How do… Read more

Tommy's art is always interesting, entertaining and thought provoking. His work can make the most mundane subject speak to you... and I mean literally. there is something about his line work that makes every drawing pulse with energy and personality. I feel honored that he wrote a testimonial for me and I only waited so long to do the same for him because i feel so inarticulate that I can't do his work justice. Thanks for sharing your work with all of us, Tommy!

I get writer's cramp just looking at these drawings. I think Tommy Kane has drawn every brick in every building in NYC. His body of work is so amazing it hurts my eyes and I find I can only take it in small doses. This guy is good. Really, really good.

November 20, 2006

Tommy is a freakin' amazing artist...his control of line is pretty much mind-blowing, and I love the way he sees the world (oh, and he's also a very important person, but that goes without saying ;-)!!

From paintings and drawings to 3D works and advertisements, Tommy always feeds us something new, something fresh. His passion is not pretentious; it is raw, and inspiring to us rookies! A look into his other sites will lead you to more of his works in various media, as well as frank and encouraging interviews and advice. And don't forget to check out his sitting-in-a-dark-theater sketching skills. What a talent.

This man became my fav at the very first time i gotta see his arts. They're stunning... and took my breath away! Thank u so much for sharing ur so awesome works Mr.!

Tom Kane, apart from being a rider of blue horses, chaser of the watercolour-storm and tamer of pens and pencils fortunately doesn't subdue his passion for transforming the world's beauty into dense and tense artworks. Fullstop.

October 5, 2006

hey tommy, i like your paintings so much... you're very creative! like a trip in another world! thank u for the very nice message and the coaxing testimonial!!! kristina***

I love looking at other people's drawings, and I enjoy reading the stories that go with them. And Tommykane has plenty of both. The drawings have a density and simplicity at the same time. Lively and colourful, even when there's no colour. If it were possible to go on a day trip in a drawing, my first choice would … Read more

A truly original artist!! I think I enjoy the cardboard paintings the most! Tommy Kane seems to have his own personal style that is extremely unique. A talent that I am jealous of!

One of the coolest artists out there today!!!! Tommy's art is brilliantly original and encompasses many aspects of the world today in a pop-ish juxtapose of found objects and skilled painting! I can't stop looking at his art!

Rarely I come across an artist's work that somehow etches itself in my heart and mind. Tommy Kane's drawings are with me still from the first moment I saw them - I just can't get them out of my head and I wouldn't want to! Tommy's passion pours from his pen into drawings and paintings so intimate, detailed, and soulful I sometimes feel I've invaded a private space as I view them - such honesty is seldom seen in public places. Thank you Tommy sharing your incredible Moleskine journals with me and the rest of the world. We are all so incredibly fortunate to experience these tenderly-drawn creations from your heart and soul.

I've seen the yellowtail adds around town and always thought they were so clever and original. Now that I've seen Tommy Kane's artwork, I'm at a loss. I'd love to write a testimonial, but words don't do this work justice. Just amazing.

Tommy is far and away one the most talented artist's out there. his bold work is filled with sublime humor, raw emotion, and endless style. a true inspiration ...so pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and dig into this guys work. you will not be disappointed!

September 28, 2006

We've got an all around artiste on our hands here! Tommy's retro inspired paintings are some of my favorite works that I've come across. His work is in one word, cool. Make that super cool.

The first time i clicked on Tommy Kane's flickr page, my jaw dropped to the floor. Tommy's artwork completely blew my mind. I have been inspired by all his works! This talented individual has a very unique style. I think we really need to see mo re of his work out there.I love how detailed his artwork is. With a strong portfolio that he has, who would be stupid enough not to hire him? If i had a lot of money i'd buy all his artwork, have a magazine called "KANE" with all his artwork and have a gallery with all his stuff. Unfortunately i'm poor so all i can do is check out his stuff on flickr! I promise that when i win the lottery i'll pay big bucks to get my hands on the "mybuddahlo" illustration..... Awesome job! Keep up the good work!

what can i say? oh jeah i'm just blowing away! Tommykane is a very complete artist, intelligent graphics, strong intensive paintings and free draws full of life. Tommykanes level is far away for me but so inspiring and great fun to watch!

September 13, 2006

I'm impressed from his paintings and even more from his graphic design works. Very creative, great sence for composition and beautiful work with colors. I'm glad that he's sharing his great work with us.

September 10, 2006

I KNOW when I've been struck at the right place visually. Mr T's versatile, unique and humorous work takes very confident and accurate aim straight thru the occular nerve where it lodges itself in the mind of the viewer....(in some cases, it even later demands that I buy a tasty bottle of Yellowtail!)
