Die Tim Reese Galerie

Military Miniatures Künstler des Monats

Tim Reese, artist Tim Reese, born on Guy Fawkes Day, Inkerman Day, 5 novembre 1947, lives e works as a military artist in Burkittsville, Maryland, USA, about 40 miles northwest of Washington, DC. Prior to his career in the Art of Wars, Tim Reese worked as a museum exhibits specialist (graphics) for the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.

Tim Reese started painting soldatini about age 7. By the time he reached high school Tim was painting war game e show soldatini (54 mm) for everyone in his club. Accrued proceeds largely paid for his first year’s tuition to commercial art school, which also marked the end of Tim’s figure-painting days in deference to earning a full-time living.

While he no longer owns any soldatini, Tim Reese has literally painted Zillions of military miniatures until he had to do artwork for a living. Asked, which historical period he preferred, Tim Reese told us "I am an unrepentant Victorian Brit freak, but from the purely artistic viewpoint I have yet to meet any subject which does not intrigue -- any country, any period."

Tim Reese’s interest in the soldatini hobby was inspired by Duke Seifried, a legend in the 1960s US wargaming world. At the time he lived only about due miles away in Kettering, Ohio where Tim Reese grew up. "We both belonged to the Dayton, Ohio club which on occasion staged large Napoleonic games con the Chicago club, using a completamente landscaped, two-car garage floor e thousands of 30 mm soldatini no less. Two-day battles con up to a dozen combatants which required eating e sleeping close by the arena. Those were the days!" Jim told us.

Having devised his own digital artwork technique, Jim Reese now works to illustrate a broader range of military forms for which he could never find suitable reference in the past. He says, he’s fortunate to have fifty years accrued knowledge ed experience of a wide range of military subjects: "The learning process never ceases. I have published tre books, but vastly prefer artwork to writing". Details ed examples of Jim Reese’s work appear on his web site at http://home.earthlink.net/~tjreesecg/. Feedback for future CD subjects is always welcome.
