Ty Meier is a working fine artist, a veteran, a super-experienced graphic designer and a proud father.
Since childhood, Ty has had an obsessive twitch to draw and create art, and his daily practice has made him a fast and efficient illustrator. He learned Photoshop and Illustrator at Platt multimedia college in San Francisco in the mid nineties and has been using them daily ever since.
The name came about because in San Francisco Ty would try to print t-shirts on a back patio using a tiny press; the problem was that is he couldn't print on rainy days. Therefor, "Sunny Days Screenprinting." But as time went by he got more and more into the illustration side of the business, so ‘Screenprinting’ was swapped out for ‘Illustration’. Recently, Ty’s original artwork fine art started to sell very well, so now Ty is a fine artist, too. The years in screenprinting and illustration explain the hard lines and spot-color look of his paintings.
If you'd like to get to know Ty better read his often hilarious blog, where he chronicles his fine art journey through New England.
Artist Statement
"Refocus on the much larger themes of life:
The improbable phenomenon of our existence and
the epiphanies of experience. We are beautiful
creatures surrounded by darkness.
Practice awe. Never stagnate.
Peace ∙ prosperity ∙ happiness."
