A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Tony drew and painted as a young child. At the age of twelve, he was selected to attend the Carnegie Institute Summer Art Program. The next year, Tony won the Pensylvania Scholastic Art Gold Key for his tempera/goache painting, World Series Celebration.

 

 After serving four years in the Air Force, Schaub moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, where he continued to develop his artistic skills. There his work was exhibited in privage, commercial, and public collections. After winning an art competition in Idaho he traded a painting for a 1940 Chrysler New Yorker and hit the road, in a Bonnie and Clyde looking outfit and a girlfriend, spending the winter at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Enroute back to Sun Valley Tony had car trouble in Houston, showed his portfolio to Tootsies and a Texas Artist was born.

 

 

 

 Commission Tony Schaub to paint something for you, from a portrait to a mural, for your home or business.

 Since moving to South Padre Island and becoming a part of the "local color" Tony stays busy sending his paintings to collectors as far away as the recent one he sent to Park Avenue in New York City.... get a rope... just kidding...

See some of Tony's paintings on South Padre Island, Texas, at Blackbeards Restaurant, the South Padre Island Convention Center, Josephs restaurant, and Blue Rays Diner.
