“….
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
Magazine”
“Call
Them the Jetsons because everything about them seems new age or
surreal.”
-Valerie
Christopher, “Desert Post Weekly”
“Tony
and Karen Barone are the kind of people who make even the wildest urban
professional feel hopelessly conventional.”
-Robin
Abcarian, “Los
Angeles Times”
"Everything
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'."
-Maggie Downs,
