Born in New York, Velonis studied art at the College of Fine Arts at New York University. During his time there he studied several different media, including oil painting, watercolor, and sculpture. He first began exploring silkscreen printing around 1932, while he was working in his brother's sign shop. Working with another artist, Fritz Brosius (and future art director of Time magazine) Velonis skills with silkscreen would come in handy during his tenure with the FAP.
He became involved with the WPA in 1934. Hired by Mayor LaGuardia himself, Velonis's first project was to document and illustrate the local fishermen to help promote the fish market. He created a series of paintings for the project based on first-hand sketches and photographs, developing a deep respect for the fishermen in the process. From there, he was hired as a poster artist, first for the City of New York, then on a federal level as part of the Federal Art Project. Intended to promote everything from public safety announcements to cultural events sponsored by the FAP, these posters advertised everything from art exhibitions to medical announcements.

Anthony Velonis, The W.P.A. Federal Theatre Negro Unit MacBeth, by William Shakespeare, 1936, silkscreen on paper.Often referred too as the Voodoo MacBeth, this production was directed by Orson Welles and starred an all-black cast. [.................................................................]Velonis's non-poster prints often concentrate on urban daily life, whether it's a view of park or a local subway stop. In contrast to printmakers like Olds, his work doesn't carry the same overtly political connotations, but rather are opportunities for him to explore the formal qualities of silkscreen printing as a creative medium.
