I was scanning the web this AM for words about Tim and found this site, thought I'd just throw up a post. I was the keyboard player with Tim in Dow Jones and the Industrials, we really went through some youth together. He was an amazing artist -- graphic, music, life -- and a truly wonderful person. I'm really saddened, his death diminishes the world.

While I didn't know Tim personally, I certainly knew his work. It would have been hard not to, given how active an artist he was, manifesting both his own, singularly unique, artistic visions as well as countless works made in collaboration with other talented artists and performers. Those works will live on of course, as will many people's loving memories of Tim as a creator and a friend. To me he will forever be a man who marched, twitched, sweated and danced to the beat of a decidedly different drummer: himself.

Journey ever onwards, Tim.
