Masters of Ink with Artist Tim Doyle on Quitting Your Dayjob
Submitted by Jason Thibault on August 6, 2009 - 04:05
Poster artist Tim Doyle is a creator who steadily grew on me over a period of months. I believe it was his Deniro or Bill Murray series that first made me take notice. Then I started to piece together all of the work that he had done over the past 18 months. He set the net on fire with his Obama / Optimus Prime Chang Into a Truck poster. He now runs his own shop and is clearly an ambitious and talented designer and artist who is not stopping anytime soon.

This was originally a to do list that I wrote for myself. I was trying to think of as many things that I could do as an artist to expand my reach and get the word out there. Some were stupid so I immediately omitted them and tried to chisel this list down to only the good stuff.
