Today we’d like to introduce you to Tim Petersen.
Tim, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
When I was a little kid I remember going to the grocery store with my family and they’d always have a coloring contest every month and I would win a lot of the time. I would get some praise and realized I was better than most of the kids my age. I think that’s when I started doing it more and more. I also have an uncle that used to work for Disney and we’d visit and I loved to see all of his awesome work. He always seemed so excited to show us and it made me realize you could love your job. He was definitley a major influence as well.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I am currently doing freelance work in the children’s book industry. My goal has always been to entertain and to create positive feelings/memories that you can relate to. Whenever I see someone look at my work and smile I feel like I did my job and if it’s good enough to be shared I feel like I did my job well. I hope to continue to improve telling stories through pictures while inspiring/sparking creativity and emotion.
Any advice for aspiring or new artists?
To get anywhere in life it requires work and practice, so keep on creating and sharing.
