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,[1] and most recently on Impaler, after the title moved from Image Comics to Top Cow.[2][3][4] Comics critic Timothy Callahan in a review of Impaler #3 said:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
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.[5]
