AVATAR: Electronic image that represents and may be manipulated by a computer user

PaulTim Exhibit

Paul, says his first memory of creating art was when he was 4. I would create art worlds on the condensation of a window. Today his "window" is a digital screen using techniques many Hollywood special effects companies, such as Industrial Light & Magic and Pixar, use to create his fine art images.

Paul started designing broadcast animations rendered on VAX 780 1 mip mini supercomputers during the mid-1980s for

Cranston Csuri Productions. Co-Founder of Cranston Csuri, Charles Csuri was recognized as the Father of Digital Art and Computer Animation by Smithsonian magazine and MoMa.

While at Cranston Csuri, Paul designed motion graphics for NBC, ABC, WCBS, MTV, and designed the first motion graphics of the Paul Rand-designed IBM logo through IBM Agency, Dentsu, Young & Rubicam Pte Ltd.

During Paul's time in art school, he received his nickname "PaulTim," a shortening of his full name, Paul Timothy Conley. Paul was an adjunct instructor of computer art & animation and cinematography design at CCAD from 1992 to 2008. PaulTim became a SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Pioneer member in 2012. Paul has served as a judge for the Academy for Interactive and Visual Arts for the past ten years.

PaulTim's art is available for exhibition and acquisition.
