Tom Eslinger

Tom Eslinger combines his experience as a creative leader in 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 Worldwide 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 graphic design and typographic work can be found in the Permanent Design Collection of New York’s MOMA as well as the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt Collection.

Tom maintains residences in Chicago and New York City and continues to consult for select brands and still a better-than-average drummer.

Tom studied at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design (MCAD) and counts Charles Spencer Anderson and Scott Makela as his mentors and great influences.
