Currently based in London (UK) timba’s work is commonly known and credited for founding & creating one of the world’s art communities best kept secrets… wooden toy quarterly. 


Wooden toy quarterly is possibly the only quarterly boogazine (half book half magazine) that comes out once per year and he’s proud of it! Wooden toy is a meticulously planned love affair combining all of timba’s loves and is a faithful representation of the emerging creative culture, contemporary arts and cutting edge design that inspires us all.


Covering everything from youth culture, to fashion, music, art, photography & design this mainly one man operation takes up most of Timba’s time competing with his artistic career and his freelance design projects. This man just doesn’t stop. Crikey, if he had any spare time, which is rare, it ought to be spent sleeping, however you are most likely to find him happily hunched over his drawing table, headphones on, putting his 2B pencil to good use!
