Karen and Tony Barone probably have more interesting ideas in one day
than most people have in their entire lives.”
-Scott Brassart, “The Bottom Line

Them the Jetsons because everything about them seems new age or
surreal.”

and Karen Barone are the kind of people who make even the wildest urban
professional feel hopelessly conventional.”
-Robin
Abcarian, “Los
Angeles Times”

you need to know about Karen & Tony Barone is summed up in a
quote scrawled across a giant canvas in their studio - 'the secret of
life is in art, the meaning of life is love'."
