“His exacting aesthetic standards and exquisite artwork, underpinned by great knowledge and intellectual curiosity ensures he is the doyen of heraldic painters.”
David White, Garter Principal King of Arms
“He is the outstanding British heraldic painter and calligrapher of his generation… His designs for Jubilee and other medals and coinage will be a lasting tribute to him and evidence of the quality of such work produced in this country in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. His sense of design, virtuosity as a calligrapher and ability as a painter mean that he has produced much of the most prestigious heraldic work to the highest standard that has come out of the College of Arms in recent decades.”
Sir Thomas Woodcock, Former Garter Principal King of Arms
“What defines his work as outstanding is his exquisite draughtsmanship, his creative flair and the impeccable professionalism of his approach to each and every commission. In an area of art and design that still defines large tracts of public art in Britain, his ability is masterly and he stands as a credit to his profession.”
Dr Kevin Clancy, Director of the Royal Mint Museum
“Tim Noad… must soon be the country’s most widely viewed, but least well-credited, artist. Because as well as illustrating this historic document (the Coronation Roll), he is the designer of the King’s cypher, the logo that you will begin to see on new banknotes, public buildings, uniforms and eventually on new post boxes.”
Sean Coughlan, BBC News, 3 May 2024
“I have unbounded admiration for Tim Noad’s work – for his artistic integrity, lack of pretentiousness, and above all consummate craftsmanship.”
