Biography
Timson has done a lot of work (especially covers) for British small press comics including Solar Wind, The End Is Nigh and FutureQuake, as well as working as a freelance illustrator.
In recent years he has begun to get professional comics work, on Popgun with Leah Moore and John Reppion, and most recently on Impaler, after the title moved from Image Comics to Top Cow. Comics critic Timothy Callahan in a review of Impaler #3 said:
| “ | his work on "Impaler" is startlingly evocative. His fully painted (or mixed-media) art shifts from bloody violence to haunting melancholy to pastel cheerlessness. He can do murky action scenes and crisply colored diner sequences with consistent beauty. It's a savage beauty, appropriate to a horror-action comic, but it's one that recalls Dave McKean mixed with Bill Sienkiewicz mixed with Frazer Irving. ... He's an artist to keep an eye on, to be sure. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
