My name is Tim Thomas but everyone calls me ‘Snaps’. I’m pretty much an artist in every sense of the word. I’ve been encouraged to start a tumblr as a way to reach out and hear what you all think about my work. I would love to collaborate with models, artists and designers (make-up, hair, costume, fashion, set/scenic, airbrush…) and other photographers too. Any and all feedback is much appreciated! Blessed!

With a mantra like ‘I wont grow up’ the story that immediately came to mind as being most apropos for a gay magazine was PETER PAN. The first page is an expectant mother sitting in her nursery reading Peter Pan to her unborn child. The second - Peter Fighting captain hook, with tink by his side and a crocodile waiting below. The third and fourth page i did as a 2 page spread, Peter and the lost boys, having stolen the treasure from the pirates! </p>http://itssnaps.tumblr.com/post/46443884426http://itssnaps.tumblr.com/post/46443884426Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:30:27 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c6b670afd0306593dc08626a2750db1e/tumblr_mkc5fg7fNb1r90n22o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/45d29b292295a36f88191d19c90bd998/tumblr_mkc5fg7fNb1r90n22o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2383532fb87bf325492a587ea74e1bb7/tumblr_mkc5fg7fNb1r90n22o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>AUGUST 2011 WHATS HAPPENING MAGAZINE NUDE ISSUE - ‘SIRENS SONG’ -  I chose a few classical paintings from the 14th and 15 centuries that featured nude sirens or mermaids, traditionally famale.
