Tim grew up in a little corner of the North of England in the 1960's / 70's.  There was not much to do for a young boy in this part of the world apart from chasing sheep, watching the rain and growing vegetables.

Fortunately, Tim had the passion to be creative and pursued this with determination and youthful energy; apart from the time when he was learning to ride his bicycle and the day Uncle Stan was awarded first prize for his cucumber at the local summer fête. Tim's curiosity and fascination with how shape, color and line could combine with words to make his world a more entertaining and brighter place. Eventually, this led him onto the highway of creative learning and a career in the commercial art world.

Today, Tim combines the inspiration that fired him up as a youngster and the experience he has gathered over the years to offer a bright, imaginative and colorful approach to his work.

Tim still lives in a little corner of the North of England with his wife, Julie, son, Harrison, and daughter, Nicola. He acknowledges that there is something special about this part of the world that he didn't see as a boy. After all, it is home and the place that first sparked his creativity.
