We have Sanctuary

So why not partake of the cafe's rather excellent vegetarian and vegan food and wonderful coffee while viewing Tony's legendary prints? For directions and further details visit www.sanctuarycafe.co.uk.
Oh lucky man
Congratulations to Paul Bennett from Brighton who has won one of Tony's iconic Beach Huts In The Snow canvases in a competion run by visitbrighton.com.
The competition, which was a promotion for last year's Christmas Artists Open House festival, received more than a thousand entries - one of the largest number of competition entries the website has seen, by all accounts.
You can read more and see a photo of the canvas being presented by Tony to the lucky winner in the latest Artists Open House newsletter by clicking here.
Bandstand bonanza
Some of Tony's framed photographs of Brighton and Hove commissioned for the recently restored Grade II listed Brighton Bandstand are now on permanent display – find them in the Bandstand Cafe Bistro, which is on the ground floor. See www.brightonbandstand.com for more on this historic building.
Festive agents

For he's a jolly good Fellow
May 2009: Tony has been awarded the highest distinction by the Royal Photographic Society, making him Tony Bowall FRPS (Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society). The work that won him the award is his panel of 20 Greek images, which you can also view on the Brighton and Hove Camera Club website.
As if that wasn't enough, Tony has also just been awarded a 2009 London Salon of Photography medal. These awards are extremely rare – in fact there have been only 10 awarded worldwide. The image that won him the medal is Tony's Bench In The Snow In Hove.
Show stoppers
Tony has had an image (of Brighton Beach!) selected for the 2010 Tribute to Colour Exhibition in Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands. In 2009 he had two prints accepted for the 96th Southampton International Exhibition of Photography (2009), as well as having another print chosen for the Royal Photograhic Society's 2009 International Members' Exhibition. It's not the first time Tony has experienced the sweet taste of exhibition success – for the past three years he has had images selected for the prestigious London Salon of Photography as well as work chosen for previous Royal Photographic Society shows.
Snowy beach huts find national fame
Tony's Beach Huts In The Snow photographs from April 2008 have attracted much press coverage lately, and have been seen and mentioned in the travel section of The Observer newspaper in the UK, as well as in the Guide section of The Guardian.
You can see the image in a local online review too.
Plus there have been several sightings in Brighton and Hove local magazine Latest 7/Latest Homes – and more still to come, no doubt.
