Artist Tom Eslinger combines his experience as a giant of international advertising with his pop sensibilities to create pieces that engage, entertain and enthrall his collectors.
Following a rockstar career as Global Creative Director for Saatchi & Saatchi as well as Burson Marsteller and five-time Cannes Lions Jurist (twice as Jury President), Tom creates one-of-a-kind artworks combining his lifetime obsessions with music, typography and stickers. Tom’s design work can be found in the Permanent Design Collection of New York’s MOMA as well as the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt Collection.
Tom studied at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design (MCAD) and counts Charles Spencer Anderson and Scott Makela as his mentors and great influences. Tom maintains residences in Chicago and New York City. He is currently a Consulting Creative Director and a Professor of Communications at Columbia College.
