Tim was born in North Carolina , but spent most of his childhood living in Vermont .  Art has always been a passion of his, and drawing offered him an escape from what was not always a pleasant childhood. 

 

As a teen, Tim was uprooted to Connecticut , and his artistic focus shifted to a more sinister form, music.  He learned to play the guitar, and was a member of various local thrash metal bands (see “Music” page). 

 

Tim eventually began studying the Martial Art of Combat Hapkido as a chance to explore another childhood love.  During his Martial Arts training, Tim met Sean Gallimore.  Being an accomplished artist (www.seangallimore.com), Sean became Tim’s instructor in the pinup arts and beyond. 

 

Tim is still studying under Sean’s instruction, and continues to sculpt his skills as an artist.  Tim works as a graphic artist and screen printer, and resides in Connecticut with his wife.
