Tim Georgi is a Utah-based graphic designer and art director turned comic artist and writer, creating the serial series Beyond Neverwonder and the comicstrip Tekitsune's Foxtails.

Tim was born on March 23, 1976 in Kailua, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, where he lived until he was 3 years old. His family relocated to Utah, where he basically lived for a majority of his life. In 1995, Tim served for two years as an LDS missionary in Quezon City, Philippines. In recent years, he has lived in a variety of places, going from Utah to places like Chicago, Los Angeles and Kansas City.

Starting in the graphic design business in 1991, Tim currently works as a graphic designer at Brigham Young University and as a freelancer through his company, Skyfall Communications.

Tim's early forray into the comics industry came in 1993 when he joined the web development team designing the Elfquest website for comics publisher Warp Graphics. The site, Elfquest.com, was one of the first websites dedicated to a single comics series. Tim was responsible for the graphical elements of the website.

In 1998, as part of his graphics duties for Elfquest.com, he was commissioned to color the first part of Dreamtime, an originally black and white portion of the Elfquest storyline dealing with the aftermath of the original Elfquest series, to be used as an exclusive in the online comics section of the website. Later in 1999, Tim was called on to continue as the colorist for the first three volumes of the European release of Elfquest: Dreamtime for Warp through German comics publisher Carlsen Verlag. His colored version of Dreamtime has been translated and published in several languages in Europe.

Tim continued his design work for Elfquest.com though 2001, when he took a break from his work there, and returned in 2004, taking over duties as webmaster in addition to his graphics work.

In 2005, Tim created his own comic publishing company, AtomicFoxtail Studios, to produce his original fantasy comic, Secret of the Sunsword, based on a short story he had written in college. Having not drawn much since 1995, Tim decided to put Sunsword on hold and create another series that he could use as a way to get back into the drawing scene. That project, Beyond Neverwonder, is a mixed-up cross between Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan that follows a girl named Alice who thinks she's seeing things when a mysterious hole appears out of nowhere, a hole that only she can see. She ends up in a world called Neverwonder where things don't always reflect reality and the world you see in the mirror may just be the end of all things.

Tim is also the owner/publisher of Animetro Studios, a small publishing company based in Orem, Utah. Animetro is the publisher of @anime!, an online magazine dedicated to anime and manga, featuring articles and commentary on Japanese animation, comics, video games and popular culture. @anime! is currently on hiatus as Tim is currently working to finish up his college studies in Art and Visual Communications.
