The Book of Tone
If any of you check the Rapid Fire Friday for last week, you will notice a comment from my buddy Tone Rodriguez complaining that he wasn’t mentioned in the post. Now Tone is correct, he was at the Fangoria show with me last weekend and he did try to take the picture of Richard Moll and I…
For those of you who don’t know the name, Tone was the artist on Violent Messiahs and Snake Plissken and he’s doing the art for the new book UTF that comes out from APE tomorrow. Now I’ve known Tone for about six or seven years and have traveled from L.A. to Dallas with him in my truck… twice! So I figured Tone’s cry for attention needs to be heard and today I present to you: The Book of Tone. Some fun facts about the very talented artist that you may not know.
Tone once worked on the Power Rangers as a concept artist and created the villain for one of the seasons.
Tone loves Batman and has just about every figure of Batman created… some of which were sent to him by adoring fans.
While traveling, Tone is very free about discussing his bowel movement habits.
Tone’s favorite restaurant is the Waffle House where he likes it smothered and covered… not sure how he likes his hash browns though.
While his turn to drive on the road to Dallas, Tone turned to me and said: “have you ever had it where the cars in front of you just suddenly get bigger?”
When making a purchase at McDonalds, the total came to $6.66 and Tone immediately purchased another cheeseburger so the total would change.
For his birthday dinner, a group went with Tone to a Brazilian BBQ place in Burbank where Tone was recognized by the belly dancer who remembered him from a different BBQ place.
Tone does the most amazing imitation of the Coach from Major League. Everyone who sees him should ask him to do it. Go ahead… he loves it.
While doing the sketch card inserts for the Family Guy cards, Tone did nine of them with Eduardo the broken off penis from the Statue of David.
Tone will sing along with just about any song on the radio… a particular favorite is “True” by Spandau Ballet.
Tone used to work for a replica company making lightsabers and other movie props. You walk into his studio and it looks like an arsenal at Skywalker Ranch.
Tone’s favorite dessert appears to be Key Lime Pie… or at least he couldn’t stop signing about it this last weekend.
I think that’s enough Tone fun facts for today. But please check out UTF in stores tomorrow and it will make Tone very happy.
