Comments on Tim's Art
Tim developed the logo and letterhead for my [now defunct] bookstore, A Change of Hobbit when he was still a student. His graphics branded my store's image throughout its 19-year history, appearing on tote bags, t-shirts, holiday cards, and other promotional and business items. His art became iconic, recognized throughout world in the science-fiction and fantasy field.[1]
I believe I picked [The Truth About Tribbles] up at A Change of Hobbit in Los Angeles when I was wee. Tim Kirk was a very popular local Sci Fi satirist and had decorated all the walls in the bathroom there. [2]
