Runner's Portrait Series : 05

Meet Tim O'Brien. He ran in last year's NYC 40th Annual Marathon. He is an amazing illustrator whose award winning artwork has graced the covers of such well known publications as Time, Rolling Stone, and Runner's World to say the least. I found out he was a runner from an August 2009 blog post on Drawger of on an illustration he created for Runner's World on Ryan Hall. I immediately wrote him an email and he was so nice to let me use his marathon images for my thesis project and even gave some words of encouragement on training for my first marathon. Thanks Tim!
