TOM the Cartoon
Guy
Tom Milutinovic
is Pennan Inc.'s resident cartoonist / graphic designer.
Cartooning has been Tom's obsession since the first time he picked up
a crayon (as a baby) and started marking up the walls of his bedroom.
Throughout elementary school, junior & sr. high school, Tom drew cartoons
for the school newspapers. Tom's original cartoons even made appearances
at the end of term papers & exams throughout his last years of University.
Yet it wasn't until after earning a BSc in Psychology (at the tender age
of 21) that a friend altered Tom's aspirations by coercing him into finally
accepting $5 for a drawing he had done. The moment the bill touched his
sweaty outstretched palm, a giant cartoon light bulb switched on over
Tom's head. You see, up until that moment, it had never occurred to Tom
that people actually got PAID for drawing cartoons!!
The rest, as they say, is History!
Some notable projects Tom has worked on was Election '96 -- a CD-ROM for the U.S. Presidential election in 1996, featuring interactive caricatures of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole & H. Ross Perot, educational campaigns for the Missing Children Society of Canada, the American Bankers Association, the YWCA, and Alberta Health. Tom has also been a contributing artist to CRACKED magazine. Recently, he has done caricatures of the cast of "Canadian Idol" for CTV, and the cast of "The Joe Schmo Show" for Spike TV.
