About the Founder
Timothy Colomer
Founder, Duck & Compass Society · Little Dog Art Studios
"I have always followed the horizon."
My first journey beyond the United States happened in fifth grade on a cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. I remember standing on the deck as the shoreline disappeared and realizing the world was far larger than my neighborhood. That moment set my compass.
In high school, I traveled to Costa Rica. Soon after, I joined the United States Marine Corps — not only to serve, but to see the world. I lived in Japan for three years and traveled extensively during my service. Over time, I set foot on six continents and lived in multiple countries.
After my military career, I transitioned fully into professional art through Little Dog Art Studios. What began as a personal outlet evolved into a serious creative pursuit and a growing body of work collected internationally.
"Ducks migrate."
Duck & Compass Society is built on that spirit. Each compass-marked duck carries humor, craftsmanship, and quiet backbone behind the brush. The world they inhabit is playful, but intentional — a no-conflict universe where the only adversaries are rough seas, missed flights, and bad weather.
All of them are plotting a course.
This project merges everything I love:
Based in Houston, Texas — guided by a lifelong love of exploration — the voyage is only just beginning.
