1. Illustrator Saturday – Tim Young

Timothy Young has been a toy designer, illustrator, sculptor, puppetmaker, a graphic designer and pop-up engineer of I’m Looking For A Monster! His work has been seen on television, in major magazines and on toy shelves worldwide. He majored in illustration at Pratt Institute and has over 25 years experience as a professional artist. He even created an iPhone App Creatures & Characters Mix-Em-Ups.  His illustrations have been seen internationally, including the covers of Popular Science and Golf Digest. 

His first book was published by Random House. Although he’s wanted to create books for a long time, he never thought his first book would be a pop-up. Tim looks forward to putting out many more books in the coming years, and just recently signed with the Herman Agency. They are currently showing new pop-up and picture books to publishers.

Tim in my studio with some of the toys he designed on his shelves.

When I first presented “I’m Looking For A Monster!”, it was a straight picture book. This was the spread for “I want a Scary Monster…”

And this is the sketch for the next page, “But Not That Scary!”
These are the thumbnails, converting the spreads into pop-up page ideas.
And this is the final pop-up spread.
Here is the illustration of the wrap-around cover.
This is a spread from “They’re Coming!” using a similar silhouette style, but with a deeper background.
My Agent, Ronnie Herman, has advised me to work in a looser style. I now scan my sketches without clean-up or inking directly into Photoshop and use the rough line quality in the finished piece.
“Shadows On My Wall” combines the silhouette characters as shadows with a looser, more traditional style in the foreground.
This is my pencil for a book called “The Day Goes On Forever” I work in blue Prismacolor pencil on rough paper to get the line quality I like.
