Tim White was a British painter, best known for his science fiction and fantasy book covers, record covers and magazine illustrations. Tim is recognized by game art enthusiasts for his box art for British publisher Psygnosis.

Graduating from Medway College of Art in 1972, Tim would soon after embark on a career painting sci-fi novel covers for the likes of Lovecraft, Sterling and Heinlein. He would start designing box arts by the mid-80s for publisher The Power House and is likely responsible for many of the company’s fantasy covers until its demise in 1988.

Tim joined Psygnosis’ already bulging roster of sci-fi/ fantasy painters in 1987 with Terrorpods (also with Roger Dean) and would go on to design originals for the publisher (Leander, The Killing Game Show) as well as have previously commissioned artworks reused (Infestation). His final cover was Ishar Trilogy (1995) after which he would do some design work for Microprose in 1997 before bowing out of the video game industry.
