About Tim’s Printables

Hi, I’m Tim.

I’m an illustrator, and I’ve been creating printables for kids since 2012. Tim’s Printables lets me combine my love of illustration with my passion for learning.

Every dot-to-dot, coloring page, maze and puzzle on this site is drawn by me. The library is made for kids, parents and teachers, with a focus on preschool through fifth grade, plus plenty of challenges for grown-ups too.

My story

I began drawing at a very young age. I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computational Media in 2010, and after college I worked as an illustrator for an ad agency.

In 2012 I quit my job and started my own online business and blog, which has grown into Tim’s Printables.

“My goal is to spark creativity in kids. I want to provide them with quality resources they can use in order to discover, create, and play.”Tim van de Vall

Meet Ergo

I’m also the creator and cartoonist of the family-friendly comic strip Ergo, and its characters regularly show up in my printables. This strip sums up the ideas that inspire me to draw.
