The Short Version
Tim Gilmour is a producer, designer, and artist working out of Los Angeles. While largely self-taught, he studied art and design (as well as too much Anthropology) at UCSD, UCLA, and various other institutions.
Starting out in TV, he made the jump to web design and development during the dotcom boom, and except for a few forays into film & entertainment, has been there since. He lives with his wife and two children, and he still (somehow) finds time to paint.
Interests

Current Status
I am the Executive VP of TLR New Media, a creative consultancy focused on brand development through multiple media -- web, mobile, print, product, broadcast.
Environment
timgilmour.com is running drupal under Apache / Linux. The geomancer theme was designed by me. Code is loosely based on concepts and css from the amadou theme for drupal. All code hacks by yours truly.
timgilmour.com validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict, with a few minor exceptions (mainly due to IE hacks and cockamamie drupal modules). This site does not try to be 100% IE backwards compatible, much less Mac / Safari compatible, and so the experience will vary. It requires adobe flash in order to view some of the features as well as any video.
All designs, artwork, and trademarks are the properties of their respective owners.
