About TKO
 
TKO (a.k.a. Tim O'Brien) is a former attorney from the United States now living and working in Asia. At various times in the past, he's worked as a musician, a tree trimmer, a bus driver, a teacher and a lawyer.

He first began drawing editorial cartoons for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper at the University of Texas, while still a student at UT law school. He was forced to put up the drawing pen when the practice of law (that jealous mistress) began to intrude. Finding the legal profession an abysmal waste of life, he left, and wandered a bit around Asia. Eventually washing up on the shores of Taiwan, he found the time and inclination to again take up the pen.

After a stint as a staff editorial cartoonist at a local English language daily, he went freelance with his cartoons to focus on the Big Stuff; you know, the stories above the fold…the ones editors are willing to pay for.

He currently syndicates his cartoons worldwide and is a lecturer at Chinese Culture University in Taipei.

In addition to being a fine mah-jongg player, he is generally acknowledged to be, pound-for-pound, the finest cartoonist in the small fishing hamlet of Tamshui, Taiwan.
