The hills, South East of Melbourne  


Where are you living now?

I’m living out here in the hills for now, it’s beautiful.


How was ‘creativity’ part of your upbringing?  

Creativity has been my favourite part of life for as long as I remember. Whether it was music, drawing, painting, wood work, metal work etc. When I’m in the creative space nothing else matters, it feels great.


How do you answer, “What do you do for work?”  

I call myself an Artist, finally. Like many others I struggled with that for ages, but now it feels about right.


Why do you do what you do?

I just love it, it feels right for me and I love the satisfaction of finishing a piece. I also find it to be an amazing way of saying something (if you have something to say).


What one piece of advice would you share?

Play along.


What do the words ‘Forever Applaud’ mean to you?

To find awe in life, always.


Where should people go to find you?

I use Instagram mostly which is @imagineillustration and twitter which is @tim_illustrator.


Any projects you want to give a should out to?
