Tony paints in a confident and distinctive style characterised by the bold use of Indigenous iconoography. He pays homage to the Aboriginal dot art techniques, pioneered by the western desert's Pintupi artists. In his own words: "My paintings represent the Kamilaroi lands. This includes the sacred sites, trees, sandstone caves, escarpments, mountains, hunting tracks, hunting grounds, meeting places and the journey tracks and campsites of the Kamilaroi people. The blue lines coursing through some of my artworks depict water, representing two rivers, the Castlereagh & the Barwon, as well as creeks & billabongs"
