Hello Steemit!

My name is Tim Molloy and I am an artist based in Melbourne, Australia.
I live there with my wife Ange, son Louis and two cats named Parker Lewis and Iain M. Banks.

I make comics, paintings, sometimes sculpt and I'm currently trying to make the shift into children's book illustration.

My work is an ever expanding and interconnected web of dreamlike and nightmarish storylines soaked heavily in delusion, confusion and a general sense of unease. I draw heavily on surrealist techniques, symbolist ideas, synchronicity and dreams to construct my stories. Recurring themes include (but are not exclusive to) death, rebirth, the nature and expansion of consciousness, self-destruction and discovery… There is a kind of pre- apocalyptic tension throughout, balanced (I hope) with a sense of humor that stops it all from getting too serious.

My most 'famous' creation is Mr Unpronounceable; A homeless, delusional Necromancer who wanders through three volumes of comics published by Milk Shadow Books here in Melbourne.

Before Milk Shadow took me on board, I self published a long series of strange comics, going all the way back to my High School Days in Auckland, NZ.

Recently, I have been concentrating on traditional watercolours and had a successful solo exhibition called 'Strange Parades' at the Beinart Gallery.

When I'm not pursuing my own artistic interests, I am usually working on some kind of freelance illustration job or another...

Or playing with my band Plague Doctor.

I suppose that is all for now! I look forward to engaging with this new community and posting lots of pictures for y'all!
Cheers!
