Best Visual Artist

Tim Doyle

Tim Doyle moved to Austin in 1999 "to fulfill a lifelong dream of not living in Dallas" (his words). Since that moment, Doyle has graced Austin with a screenprint-based artistic practice made up of equal parts comic book, fanboy geekery and wry, observational wit. Example: Doyle's Shepard Fairey Obama poster homage featuring Optimus Prime instead of Barack and the dictum to "Change Into a Truck." Perhaps he's best known for the Intergalactic Nemesis series; we dig his quieter Unreal Estate series even more. Here's hoping you stay the hell away from Dallas, Tim!
