Available to hire
Howdy! I’m Tim Sievert, a cartoonist in Minneapolis. My first graphic novel, THAT SALTY AIR, was released by Top Shelf Productions in 2008. THE CLANDESTINAUTS, my cursed, maniac, D&D adventure comic is now available from UNCIVILIZED BOOKS. After graduating from of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, I spent 8 years at PUNY working as a designer/producer in animation and interactive media.
Recently I’ve worked as a character designer on the Netflix animated series Strip Law, Exploding Kittens, Captain Fall, and Centaurworld, as well as illustrated The Big Book of Monsters: The Creepiest Creatures from Classic Literature, for Workman Publishing.
