  ## Biography
  
  Timson has done a lot of work (especially covers) for British small press comics including Solar Wind, The End Is Nigh and FutureQuake, as well as working as a freelance illustrator.
  
  In recent years he has begun to get professional comics work, on Popgun with Leah Moore and John Reppion, and most recently on Impaler, after the title moved from Image Comics to Top Cow. Comics critic Timothy Callahan in a review of Impaler #3 said:
  
     his work on "Impaler" is startlingly evocative. His fully painted (or mixed-media) art shifts from bloody violence to haunting melancholy to pastel cheerlessness. He can do murky action scenes and crisply colored diner sequences with consistent beauty. It's a savage beauty, appropriate to a horror-action comic, but it's one that recalls Dave McKean mixed with Bill Sienkiewicz mixed with Frazer Irving. ... He's an artist to keep an eye on, to be sure.
