Timothy William Sharp (born 9 May 1988) is an Australian artist who has been diagnosed as autistic and is most famous for his creation of the colourful super hero Laser Beak Man.
Following concerns about his lack of language development – he only used one or two words occasionally and exhibited some unusual behaviours and was constantly upset – he was diagnosed as autistic at the age of three.
Sharp travelled to Washington, D.C. for the festival and carried the Australian flag into the opening ceremony at the John F Kennedy performing arts centre.
[2] Sharp is most famous for his bold and colourful artworks completed in crayon that all feature his superhero Laser Beak Man.
Also, in 2012, The Ghost Ballerinas, a rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, asked Sharp to create the artwork for their album "Play Me on the Radio".
A Theater production of Laser Beak Man is currently in development in conjunction with Dead Puppet Society and the New Victory Theatre at 42nd Street Studios in New York City.
