Recommendations

"Tim is one of the most talented Matte Painters I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His work was the cornerstone of the VFX for the film, and his follow-through and attention to detail helped drive the project to completion. I would leap at the opportunity to work with him again, and would recommend him to any production that might enquirer."
David Jones, VFX Supervisor, New Line

"I have had the pleasure of supervising Tim on the film 'The Number 23' at Intelligent Creatures Inc. Tim is a gifted matte painter with an amazing eye for detail. Tim will always go beyond what's expected and brings the shots up to a level far beyond. He has passion for films and the talent to create stunning matte paintings. It would be a pleasure to work with Tim on the next project."
Jamie Hallett, VFX Supervisor, Intelligent Creatures

"Working with Tim extensively over the last few years has been a fantastic experience - he has dedicated himself to his craft as a matte painter and concept artist and it shows in every facet of his work. With his professionalism and talent, he is constantly raising the bar. Combine that with his easy going, uber cool personality and relentless enthusiasm for each project, and you've got a top notch addition to any team."
Dan Wheaton, Senior Matte Painter, Intelligent Creatures
