In my own words

— Timothy

After being reared on comic books, Saturday morning cartoons and kung-fu flicks, trained at NYC’s School of Visual Arts and fueled by copious amounts of caffeine, I’ve grown into a lean, mean, image making machine!

As a result I’ve found myself creating images for quite a few interesting and illustrious clients over the past 15 or so years, the majority of whom tended to be, but were not limited to the apparel and action sports industries. My role for these clients has mostly involved graphics / illustration, logotype, print and pattern, CAD design, hang-tags, labels and related collateral material across all age groups and genders. But I’ve also found myself dabbling in toy design, photography / retouching, painting and package design to round out my skillset, all the while helping to keep my perspective as unique and fresh as possible.All in all, my experience and growth thus far has been great, but at this point in my career, I am looking forward to growing my client base not only in number but breadth. As I continue to build on my work in the apparel industry, I am eager to start branching out into work involving editorial, spot illustration, posters, book covers etc.
