INSIDE IDAHO BUSINESS- DECEMBER 22, 2008 DAVID STAATS, LOCAL NEWS EDITOR, wrote a nice story about tonidraws.com. I am writing the article with a few corrections. Here's the story:
LOCAL ARTIST WILL IMMORTALIZE FIDO ON YOUR T-SHIRT
Toni McMillan says her career has gone to the dogs, and she loves it!
McMillan is a Boise artist, that runs her own art business, Tonidraws.com, making her living
drawing and painting pictures of pets, sometimes with their owners.
She also draws historical scenes and landscapes. You can now purchase dozens of Idaho souvenir products with her paintings on them through her online Art store, tonidraw.com. You can purchase tote bags, greeting cards, mugs, prints, clocks, pillows, hats, T-shirts, and more.
She has illustrated a book and designed logos for local governments and other organizations.
Her drawings can be printed on calendars, and other promotional items for your business or organization. She can draw contemporary images- like your car-into a historical streetscape.
A native of Texas, McMillan has drawn since she was a child and professionally for over 15 years. She graduated in 1989 with a degree in graphic design with an emphasis in Illustration from Boise State University.
Toni has created a new series, titled, "Boise Love Series." After Toni's only child was raised and married, she decided that is was time for her to start a new family of her own. She decided it would be fun to paint her future spouce and dog into her life and into her paintings.
In one painting she paints herself in a hot air-balloon above Kathryn Albertson's Park, while her future husband is waving to her. It is titled, "Love is in the Air." The series is mostly about the adventures of Toni, the mystery man and mystery dog. It is mostly meant for fun, and a way to express Toni's creative, vivid imagination, sense of humor and love for Boise.
Any romantic prospects: She shakes her head: "If they aren't a gentleman, they get kicked to the curb pretty fast." "I am still hopeful, and will continue to paint this special man and dog into my future, and create interesting and fun art while doing it!
My "Boise Love Series," Historical Idaho, Idaho Landscapes, Promotional Images, and Adorable Pet Portraits, are now available on hundreds of cool items and gifts, most under $25.
