About this listen

Tony Swaby challenges the idea of dystopia and utopia, revealing how they are both tools of control, he shares his life changing experience, The Joy Principle and more in episode 10. Not to be missed. Turn on, tune in.


He is is a portrait artist whose work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: drawing should be a source of joy. For Tony, portraiture is an act of connection — a way to witness the small, human truths that appear in a glance, a gesture, or a fleeting expression. His approach blends emotional sensitivity with simplified observation, allowing him to create portraits that feel alive while keeping the process playful, accessible, and deeply rewarding.


Over a five-year period, Tony created nearly 4,000 portraits, a remarkable achievement that reflects not speed for its own sake, but the pure enjoyment he finds in drawing every single day. This body of work stands as a testament to the power of consistent practice when it is guided by genuine enthusiasm and curiosity.
