Tim is influenced by the process of screen printing (color separations, offset images) and mid-century graphics. These things are very evident in his work. Even when he’s using gouache, there are flat applications of color, with some dry brushing to accent — it’s extremely reminiscent of illustrations from the mid 20th century. The gestures of his subjects and flat depiction of space is extremely effective in conveying a bold and playful message.

Tim creates a limited-edition zine, which I had the pleasure of thumbing through at Giant Robot LA. To physically hold the zine is really satisfying — the pages are weighty and I loved running my fingers across the ink. This, of course was all complimented by the high quality of Tim’s work.
