Southern California artist Tim Biskup is probably painting while you're reading this. If not, he's designing a tee shirt, fabric pattern, book or a toy.

Tim grew up on a blend of Disneyland, "Big Daddy" Roth, classic cartoons & Godzilla movies. He spent his teen years in the anarchy of punk rock & the weirdness of the Residents. He's matured with the beauty of 50's and 60's modern designers like James Flora & Mary Blair. These influences, as well as his years of experience in animation have pushed him towards his manic, spontaneous style.

He's shown his art in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, Tokyo, Kyoto and Portland. Meanwhile, he's releasing new goods in his Gama-Go clothing & gift line. He's designed and published a deck of playing cards called "The Lucky Stack". He's working on toy designs for production in the US and Japan. He's working with House Industries to produce a set of computer fonts. He's just finished his "100 Paintings" series & has embarked on a new series of 500 small paintings called "The Jackson 500".

Tim collaborated with Mark Ryden & Gary Baseman to produce the, now infamous, "Hello" paintings series & print portfolio. Baseman & Biskup have also completed a new series of "interchangeable" paintings called "Modular Populous". The result is an interactive gallery show & limited edition postcard set.

If that's not enough, he and his wife (fellow artist Seonna Hong) have just produced their first human being, a little girl named Tigerlily Mina Biskup.
