Tim Marrs is an illustrator with a style which is very outstanding and vibrant; he implements a mixture of illustration, printing, digital art and photography to create his work, which then when put together creates a collage with semi abstract elements to it, such as a environment with other images clearly printed over the top such as the segments of the grating on the side; which fit in with the basketball court background however is only a small section which is much bigger than it should however it goes slightly unnoticed as with other parts of the piece blend and fit together.
The majority of his work are very colourful and vibrant as I said earlier, which is part of the appeal of the work, either that or he uses colour to create a suitable mood such as with the piece below.
It radiates happiness and joy with a warm and bright colour palette and images of people socialising etc.
His piece feature an abundance of textures and patterns which fill up the imagery with tone and colour such as the piece above the road is speckled with various tones of orange and yellow due a pattern being overlaid the image, overall the image draws attention the sky with the bottle cap as the sun due to the eye capturing pattern emanating from the sun and the perspective of the road leads to where the sun is.
A theme which is used in or as inspiration for his work is popular culture, such as films, celebrities and imagery.
Example being Steve McQueen and his films The Great Escape (Bike) and Bullit (Car).
I intend to use his work as a influence upon my work by creating multiple layers in my work and blending them so they intwine into each other and leaving a torn texture range and markings on the work.
