Tim’s illustrations draw inspiration from his experiences growing up by the ocean and climbing trees in forests, from the music he makes with his family and friends, and the strong oral tradition of storytelling that has been around since childhood. He likes pulling faces in the mirror, drinking coffee, sitting by fires, climbing trees, rolling down hills, the smell of the ocean, chasing dogs, watching birds and singing. He hates computer screens, surprising noises, loosing his keys, cutting his nails, sticky fingers, boring grown-ups, the smell of soap and birthdays.
