Artist

Tillman Segal

Tillman Segal was a renaissance man who has reinvented his life at 76 and started a new career. A business man all his life where painting was a hobby, he had recently decided to devote his time and his passion to embarking on a new endeavor as a professional artist and author. Amazingly, Till could look at a photo and from there create an amazing work of art.  His scope of subjects includes landscapes and seascapes, beautiful florals, and doors of windows from his travels the world over. 

Till opened the T-Shirt Company in 1981 with a simple mission: to create a space where art, originality, and the laid-back vibe of the California coast could come together. What started as a small shop just steps from the beach became a local institution, known for diverse, original designs and a deep love for Laguna’s vibrant culture and incredible natural beauty.

He brought not only entrepreneurial spirit to the store, but also heart. He saw people, tourists and locals alike, as more than customers. His sincerity, sense of humor, and disarming personality, made everyone feel welcome, valued, and seen.

Till also authored numerous books filled with his amazing art and stories of earth’s precious creatures, including hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and dogs. Find them online here.
