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.
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…”

“Is that Amy Lee from Evanescence?”
“That’s straight up Amy Lee from Evanescence, playing the guitar and singing about cartoons! What? Who? Where? What portal did we walk through this time?”
“It’s a LadyStar Video Alert! I got Talitha-chan to find us a fun video to put up so we could have a video alert like Acey-san!”
“Yeah it’s a LadyStar video alert. You savvy?”
“Ha! We’ve gone officially out of our own tree!”
“Heheheeee… see? We can do videos just like Gamepowa ’cause we got Talitha-chan and she’s super-smart about computers just like Acey-san!”
“That is just too cool for words. Rock on, Amy! Rock on, Professor! Rock on, LadyStar Video Alerts! We are OUT!”
Tim, this is VERY cool stuff! What a talent! You know, every time I hear “Pratt Institute” I wonder what might’ve been. I had the opportunity to go, but at 17 I knew I lacked the commitment and didn’t want to waste my parents’ money. It’s such an outstanding school, and it’s obvious you didn’t waste YOUR education! How wonderful! And thanks for sharing

Oh, and btw, I loved the corrugated background. How clever!

Hey, Tim! I know you already know I think you’re awesome, but I’ll say it again (on mountain, with megaphone): “Tim is AWESOME!” And congrats for signing with Ronnie–she’s awesome, too! Way to go!
Adorable work!
Wow! What a talent! It’s so interesting to see the illustration process.
Wow! As someone who cannot draw at all, I live in awe of illustrators! What cool stuff. I, too, love the cardboard!
Great stuff, Tim — and glad you’ll be doing a work shop for the upcoming conference! Happy to see that you are also with the Herman Agency!!
