FRESH ART BLOG
Welcome to my fresh art blog.
I'm Tim Nyberg. I've been creating art since I could hold a pencil (or crayon), and getting paid for it since sometime in the late 1960s. I've been a professional graphic designer and illustrator since I was in college (early 1970s). My clients have included everyone from the corner retailer to Fortune 500 companies. My art and photography has been displayed on everything from magazines to cereal boxes. Probably the strangest job I've ever had was to document (in all of its bloody detail) the kill floor of a beef processing plant for Land O' Lakes.
Always interested in anything creative and/or humorous. My illustration niche has always skewed towards humor. You will see this in my paintings (view a sampling by clicking the PORTFOLIO link on the left or clicking to GalleryFortyTwo.com). I've also authored and co-authored over two dozen humor books - most notibly, "The Duct Tape Book(s)." With my brother-in-law, Jim, I perform stand-up comedy based on the Duct Tape books - and have appeared all over North America, England and Germany.
The availability of these other ongoing sources of income (and the ability to service clients anywhere via the internet) allowed our move in 2005 from the Twin Cities, MN to a tourist area on Lake Michigan (Door County, Wisconsin). The move prompted a return to my first love: painting. In this relatively short time I have enjoyed the freedom of being my own "art director" and exploring blurring the line between commercial art and fine art.
This blog will document some of my thoughts about creativity, exploration, successes (and the failures necessary to get there), inspirations, marketing, etc., that I have along the way.
Thanks for joining me. I welcome your comments and questions.
