The Life & Times of Tim

To answer, "What happens when your girlfriend comes home before your hooker has left?" ad-man Steve Dildarian used Photoshop, an audio track and iMovie to create a short film called Angry Unpaid Hooker.  It's crude style and awkward sensibilty had a unique charm that seduced select audiences.  The Aspen Comedy festival created a category for Best Animated Short just to give it an award.  Watch it below.

Angry Unpaid Hooker is the inspiration for HBO's new animated series The Life & Times of Tim. It's the first animated series to hit the channel since Spawn.  It's also a lot funnier than Spawn.

Creator, Executive Producer and Voice Actor Steve Dildarian is also the man behind the Budweiser Lizards and Clydesdale Donkey campaigns.  His work has won over 35 Clios.  Which is equivalent to one Miss Cleo.

The Life & Times of Tim premieres 9.28.08
