Been a bit - and probably will be a bit more before I post again. Here is some newer work (2025) available at timthayer.com

Cap's Travels - 2025

Other Mother - 2025

The Juice - 2025

Otterjet - back to painting - and selling artwork

Sampling of SOLD work this year. I've been selling work in Soho in NYC (Prince Street between Wooster and Greene) this last year.  A little randomly - once a week - once every other week. The work is mostly small - nothing larger than 1 x 1 foot. It's a great feeling to sell a work - knowing that someone now has your work hanging in their space. Much of the work has gone to international destinations - Russia, Italy, England, Australia, Argentina, and German (so far).

I'm also selling work online at otterjet.com as well as etsy.com/shop/Otterjet .

There are some good people on Prince Street putting in more time than me:

Graphic Design - Be Camel

30 min graphic design projects (no reason). Camel - seems thoughtful - really don't have any idea if he/she is but we only need to take the time to be thoughtful and if an image of a camel reminds us of that then here's to camel.

Graphic Design - Tuna

Planning a series of down and dirty graphic design projects.  Maybe keep these to 1/2 hour or so. This one was inspired by seeing some live tuna fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I'd always assumed tuna looked majestic, like swordfish...but no they are odd looking creatures.

Three Feet

Before Milton 5.0 I created the strip Three Feet.  CPU was first introduced in Three Feet.  I also used this sample here as it was "hand colored" (watercolor).  I'd currently love to colorize Milton 5.0 but don't have the time. I'd probably add color to Milton 5.0 in Photoshop - but maybe watercolor is the way to go?

My friend Rob

Look for Milton

Milton 5.0 Massachusetts ?

This is a photo from my friend Bret for my birthday (46).  Bret does a lot of cool stuff with the iPhone camera...but also some REALLY cool stuff with the bigger equipment - you can see more of his work here.

And of course you can find Milton 5.0 here.

Milton is over there

This year I've launched Milton 5.0 as a regularly published strip - M W F to be exact.  Above is CPU and "Henry's Cousins" -- but you can follow all the strips at http://miltonfive.blogspot.com/

Spread the word!

Sketch Book

Today I sat down to finish a strip - final brush and ink over pencil - but my hand was shaking a little.  It had been a few days since I'd inked anything in and sometimes being out of practice causes this...but this was a little more - maybe just low blood sugar?  Anyway, I had to abandon the finish work and just worked in the sketch book - going over some older stuff in the book with the pen and ink I already had out.  I've been interested in using a "freer" line and so this seemed like a good time to experiment a little. I'm not ready to jump in and redo all the strips I have - but I could see using a looser line as the strip progressed.  Charles Schulz after having heart surgery was left with a shaky hand - I'd assume at first this must have been devastating to him - but of course he continued Peanuts and this, although not entirely intentional, shaky hand gave him a new expressive line for the strip - improving it that much more.  In my case, I probably just need to eat a bagel - but at least it gave me a chance to test out the looser line. 

Best,
TT

Film No. 1 - Summer

New film by me. Mostly footage from the Summer - finally put together and edited this week. I'm using a Flip camera and Power Director 8 for editing. I'm planning a series of these movies - vignettes of interest - short scene that are visual and not narrative. Music is from MobyGratis.com (Free music for films from Moby). You can also see the film on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j7mZrZ3UG4&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Rabbit Painting

Start of a new series of smaller gouache and watercolor works. I'm looking at balance here - and all that might mean within a painting (balance of composition, light/dark, etc.). I find the rabbit to be an odd character/metaphor - it's symbolic sexual meaning combined with cuteness --- but I also find them a little menacing (maybe it all stems from Monty Python and the Holy Grail???). These rabbits are also have a direct connection to the introduction of Henry in Milton 5.0. And a minor connect to the Updike character. This one is available at our Etsy Shop -- 20bucks.

Camera Series

Started a series of gouache and watercolor works - smaller pieces - of various cameras. There is a lot of old equipment lying around these days (well lying around some of the time when Tara's not shooting with it.) These will be available at our Etsy shop - see link on the side bar ← or click here...
