FAQ | CONTACT
Tim Biskup is a Southern California fine artist whose work has been shown worldwide, including galleries and museums in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Kyoto, Barcelona, Berlin and Melbourne. He's collaborated with artists and designers around the globe and organized art auctions and exhibitions.
Tim's career in animation led him through nearly every studio in Southern California where he honed his craft as a draftsman and technical painter.
Emerging from the studio system around the beginning of the millennium, he attacked the fine art world with a constant stream of original artwork, limited edition prints, vinyl figures, sculptures and tee shirts. In recent years his work has taken on a more serious tone, driving his self-proclaimed "baroque modernism" into darker territory.
You can find his products at Flopdoodle.com or at his Gallery/Store, Bispop, located in Pasadena, California's Old Towne neighborhood. Original artwork is occasionally available from both of those sources, but you'll have better luck with Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA and Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC.
Q: Does Tim have anything to do with YO GABBA GABBA?
A: No. Although the character MUNO bares a striking resemblance to Tim's HELPER character. MUNO was actually created years before HELPER! The creators have discussed the similarities and have agreed that the two Cyclops' can peacefully co-exist.
Tim has not worked on the show & has no involvement in the show's production.
Q: Did Tim work on Samurai Jack or Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends?
A: No. He worked at Cartoon Network on a show called Time Squad. Artists in the animation industry share inspiration and reference materials freely and take visual queues from each other all the time. Those two shows were created and designed by people that Tim worked with and/or around for many years. His style is heavily influenced by them and much of the same visual inspiration from the history of animation, graphic design and fine art.
Q: Can I get some advice on my career/product/plan, ETC?
A: Tim gets several requests daily for advice on career paths, product development, business practices, ETC. Unfortunately, he cannot answer many of these emails due to time constraints. In the future we will provide some of his writing on these subjects as well as quotes from speaking engagements.
Q: Where can I find (insert name of sold out print or toy)?
