Anthony Ianozzi has had an interest in art since a very young age. Although he was encouraged his whole life to do something with his talent, he didn’t start his career in tattooing until he was deployed in Ramadi, Iraq when he started tattooing fellow service members. Since then, he has pursued his passion for the arts in several different ways ensuring to develop not only his own talents, but investing his time and knowledge across the art community as well. His time in the service allowed him the opportunity to attend the Laguna College of Art and Design, where he has received academic training similar to the old masters. Along with the ancient art form of tattoo, he has been trained in sculpture, oils, and multiple other mediums.

Cast of Crowns is a collection of many different art forms that can be celebrated and enjoyed by all audiences! Whether it is using your body as a canvas for tattooing or piercing, creating sculptures or paintings of all mediums to hang on the gallery walls, he takes pride in creating a unique experience to share. Even Anthony himself has expanded his work to the canvas with a focus on Representational Surrealism!

When he is not busy tattooing or painting, he is also very present in the community, working diligently to preserve the heritage of one of the last true art colonies in Southern California, Laguna Beach. He is serving as the Vice President of the Laguna Beach “First Thursdays Art Walk” Board. As a supporter of the arts and Laguna College of Art and Design, he partners with the school to mentor one student every year to teach them how to show their work and how art galleries operate. He also actively recruits from the school and always extends his help wherever he can to students.
