Anthony DiFatta and Tony Davenport

We sat down with local artists Tony Davenport and Anthony DiFatta, who promptly made our heads spin as they discussed their perspectives on creativity, chaos and life.

Tony Davenport described the concept of โ€œart being an extension of who you are,โ€ and Anthony DiFatta explained that โ€œthe most important part (of art) is when itโ€™s happening.โ€

Be sure to check back to see the video, and find what itโ€™s like when two Tonys get together and discuss art from the artistโ€™s perspective.

Prepare to be inspired.
