Tim Bower became a commercial artist at age 10, when he won a national contest for Hygrade's Ball Park Franks. Since his mom wrote the winning copy , and he drew the accompanying picture, illustration seemed a natural calling.
Since the contest's prize, a 3 speed Columbia banana seat bicycle, had about the same monetary value as today's average spot illustration, he's been pretty much treading water ever since.
Tim's clients include:
Major League Baseball,
The National Football League,
Blue Sky Studios,
Sony,
Nike,
Volkswagen,
Red Bull,
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt....
