There is something about Ty Williams’ art, that reminds us not to take life too seriously. An artist, illustrator and surfer, Ty is somewhat of a wanderer, bouncing between his hometowns of Florida and Maine in the US, where he creates work that is unpretentious, vivid and exudes a positive notion of simply enjoying life.

Having shown solo art exhibitions all over the world, Ty’s artistic style proved to be such a natural fit with Children of the Tribe. We’re so excited to have collaborated with Ty to create three signature designs for Lost Desert - The Local, You Are Awesome & With A Smile.

 Here he lets Children of the Tribe into his world by finishing these sentences...

I am....getting better all the time, I think.

I’m always inspired by...new places and children's artwork.

The ocean is... crucial for my sanity and overall well-being.

My favourite art would have to be... easy on the eyes and not too pretentious.

The best view is... probably pretty expensive but I'd like to see it.

Colour is... a reflection of light but I like to think that it's also magic.

Peace begins with... sharing a good meal and conversation.
