In August 2013 Tim gained worldwide attention when he started selling prints and posters of a series of detailed animal ink drawings which he created. Pieces of his art saw millions of views on Reddit and imgur, with sales through his etsy shop "Tim Jeffs Art". A coloring book entitled "Intricate ink, Animals in Detail" was published by Pomegranate Publishing of Portland Oregon in January 2016 which includes 50 of his black and white drawings. His artwork has been featured in several magazines including Colored Pencil Magazine January 2016 issue, in an article titled "Creating Sea Creatures", VEUX magazine's October 2013 issue 14 volume 2, "Masks & Monsters" in an article titled "Devil in the Details". His work consists of mostly endangered species, and therefore he has joined up with several conservation groups to promote animal protection and awareness. He continues to add new works to his animal collection and offer prints of the pieces for sale to the public.
