Meet Tim Doyle, contemporary illustrator, print maker and king of ‘nerd cool’. Drawing inspiration from a life long love of comic books and video games, Doyle creates prints of inimitable style that incorporate cultural icons from the music industry to art house film into a graphic aesthetic like no other. ‘I Found Out I Was Wrong’ takes cult film Rushmore and creates a striking print, in the detailed, illustrative style of a graphic novel. Doyle depicts Herman Blume’s epiphanic moment, huddled on the floor of a swimming pool. Washed with tones of blue, the print is punctuated with the bright red of swimming trunks and a tiny, colourful glimpse of life above the surface. It’s a powerful snapshot, filled with painstaking detail, for a compelling piece of contemporary print work.
