Hello, I'm Tim "TB" Murphy.

Art found me later in life​,​ but it quickly became my language for storytelling and connection. As a self-taught artist​,​ I approach each piece with curiosity and a sense of freedom—unbound by traditional rules​,​ but deeply respectful of history. My work is a celebration of American pop culture: from the neon glow of vintage soda ads to the grit and glory of Negro Leagues baseball​,​ from the glamour of classic Hollywood to the playful chaos of retro candy aisles. I use digital tools and mixed media to layer textures​,​ colors​,​ and found imagery​,​ creating collages that invite viewers to find their own stories within the work. Nostalgia is my palette​,​ but my focus is always on relevance—how these icons and memories shape the spaces we inhabit today. Whether it’s a hotel lobby seeking warmth​,​ a restaurant craving character​,​ or a collector looking for a spark of joy​,​ I collaborate to create art that’s both personal and purposeful. My journey proves that creativity has no expiration date. I believe the most meaningful art is the kind that serves: it welcomes​,​ it remembers​,​ and it inspires. Through my work​,​ I aim to honor the past while making room for new stories—one vibrant collage at a time.
