Tony Viramontes (December 8, 1956 – May 23, 1988) was an American artist trained in Los Angeles and New York City, who found success in Europe and Japan as a fashion illustrator and photographer.

[1] He produced album and single covers for recording artists and bands, including Control for Janet Jackson, All Systems Go for Donna Summer, So Red the Rose for Arcadia, Shock for the Motels, Let's Go All the Way for Sly Fox and the 1984 Olympic Games theme Destiny by Phil Pickett.

[1] Alexander Fury of The Independent wrote "the artwork created with Eighties illustrator Tony Viramontes for Control stands the test of time".

[4] A more comprehensive study of his work, Bold, Beautiful and Damned: The World of Fashion Illustrator Tony Viramontes, was published in 2013.

The book, written by independent curator Dean Rhys-Morgan, featured an introduction from Jean-Paul Gaultier, an afterword by Vanity Fair contributing editor Amy Fine Collins, and over 250 illustrations from the Tony Viramontes studio archive.
