For Vietnam veteran Tom Fontanes, there’s more to art than meets the eye..
And he’ll show you what that means, if you ask him.
Tom hides symbols and messages in his steampunk-style collages. His symbols relate to his service as a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marines from 1968 to 1969.
Tom, who will be showing his work at tomorrow evening’s Veterans’ Art Show, in South Pasadena, talked about the pieces he’s exhibiting and the ways he’s grown as an artist since our previous conversation.
The Spring 2014 Veterans’ Art Show takes place Saturday, April 5, from 7 to 11 pm at Swarthy’s Beard and Hair Design, on Fair Oaks Avenue south of Mission in South Pasadena. Admission is free.
