Tom Seltzer grew up in University City. His parents also went to U. City, and both sets of grandparents lived there as well. He went to U. City schools starting in kindergarten at McKnight and ending when he graduated UCHS in 1988. Cut him and he bleeds black and gold.

Tom has always been proud of his involvement in the U. City band program, in which he played saxophone, badly. If not for his participation, some genuinely talented musicians in that program might not have sounded quite as brilliant in comparison. (He also played piano badly, but that was on his own time.)

Tom moved to New York in 1988 to attend Columbia University, where he studied history. This is confusing in that he has made his living since graduating as an illustrator and graphic designer. He is the owner and principal designer of Seltzer Studio Graphics, where his clients include or have included Deutsche Bank, Second Market, The New York City Opera, American Lawyer, The Deal and the New York Times. He recently created the cover art for former U. City resident Jeremy Schonfeld’s Iron & Coal CD. Tom lives in Brooklyn with his wife Inés and seven-year old daughter Iliana
