Tim’s Scrapbook

This is just for fun, OK? I’ve poked around in the pile of virtual shoeboxes I found tucked away in the back on of my virtual closet and come up with an odd assortment of snapshots from various ages and stages of my personal and professional life. Enjoy!

Tim’s Artwork

I’ve always been handy with a pen, pencil or paintbrush. If you don’t believe me, check out the photo of my hand painted 1956 Chevy above in the scrapbook.

Back in ’69-‘70 I studied at the Portland School of Fine and Applied Art (now MECA) and since then I’ve illustrated numerous books, T-shirts, calendars, greeting cards etc. The Art Galley section is designed to showcase my graphic art by featuring a random and continuously updated selection of Tim Sample drawings, paintings and illustrations.

As always, I’m interested in your feedback and or suggestions for new illustration projects. Have fun!

EventspicCome to the show!

When was the last time you got a bunch of friends together and came out to see Tim Sample live onstage? If you can’t remember then it’s been too long. We’d love to see you. Keep in mind that all of Tim’s performances are guaranteed “family friendly”. There’s absolutely no foul language, no angry, mean spirited “jokes”, just a refreshing evening of laughter and fun for all ages.

NewspaperpicTim's Newspaper Column

I never planned to be a newspaper columnist. In fact, back in 2011 when I was approached by then editor Joe Gelardin about writing a weekly column for The Boothbay Register and the Wiscassett Newspaper I turned him down flat! “Not enough money.” I sniffed, “Plus, why would I want a weekly deadline hanging over my head?”

Fortunately Joe wouldn’t take no for an answer. My weekly column “Stories I Never Told You” turned out to be an excellent creative outlet. In 2013 it earned a First Place award from the Maine Press Association and in 2014 a collection of columns entitled “Answers to Questions Nobody was Askin’” was published by Down East Books. An audiobook version is in the works. Stay tuned.
