TIM DAVIS www.tdccreative.com OVERVIEW Making a story come alive is a great joy and challenge for me, whether it be through writing, illustration, or video. I find kids to be the ultimate critics as well as my most enthusiastic fans. During a career of over 30 years, I have been privileged to have authored and illustrated 7 books of my own, as well as having produced over 500 Hidden Picture® illustrations for Highlights — more than anyone else in the magazine’s history.
