Author of Under The Blanket Sky (Penguin Random House)
Tim Fischer is a self-taught author and illustrator based in Upstate New York. After earning a degree in engineering science, he spent several years working as a land surveyor and technical draftsman in New York and Chicago.
The mathematical precision required for his technical career deeply informs his creative practice as a portrait, still life, and landscape artist. This background allows him to craft exceptional depth and detail in his drawings and illustrations.
Driven by a passion for storytelling, Tim creates picture books that invite readers into vivid, richly detailed worlds. His characters serve as humble ambassadors to the simple insights that give life meaning and the shared experiences that shape our memories. His book, Under the Blanket Sky, was published by Penguin Random House in 2023.
