Tim is a guest artist at the eighth edition of FantastikA, the biennale of fantasy illustration held in the medieval hill town of Dozza, near Bologna. This year's edition is themed Il Fuoco del Drago — the Fire of the Dragon.
His work appears in Altre Menti, Altre Mani. What If?, an exhibition curated by Ivan Cavini that opens on Saturday 19 September at the Pinacoteca of the Museo della Rocca and runs through 13 December 2026.
It is Tim's first appearance in Italy. The festival's own poster introduces him as a "Tolkien Art Legend" — the first illustrator entrusted with an entire official Tolkien calendar, and a five-time Hugo Award winner.
