"With an illustration career spanning over 10 years, Marrs is a BA graduate of Humberside University and Master of Arts ( MA) post grad of Central Saint Martins, London. His work has continued to evolve, develop and inspire. Producing a frenzied Mix of drawings, photography, screen printing and photoshop techniques, his work sports a hand made and dynamic look, but yet considered and has a mix of influences from American pop culture, pulp fiction novels, pop art to polish film posters. 

Marrs's broad and flexible style has also attracted a wide variety of commissions in advertising, publishing and Graphic design with worldwide clients including, Nike, Brand Jordan, Asics NYC marathon, Reebok, kswiss, Ogilvy and Mather, Saatchi and Saatchi, Geffen records, Publicis & Hal Riney and orion publishing to name but few. His technique is one of the most influential styles in modern illustration and is now starting to get the recognition it deserves."

Tim's work has a very unique and personal quality to it. As you can see to the left, he managed to get his illustrations on a variety of Pepsi products. 
Personally, i am not a fan of his work, but i can appreciate the talent and i am very interested in the stages he went through to becoming a more commercial based illustrator.
I have emailed him a small questionnaire and hope to get a response for my blog ASAP.
