Tynker Smyth, born and raised in Emerald City, is an artist and writer who once was a Captain in the E City Emerald Corp for over twenty years and has now retired. He now lives in Emerald City in an apartment above his little print shop, Ozia Arts, located in the Fountain district on Growleywog Avenue.
Although he’s heard there are several well made moving pictures of Oz made in the land of California, his passion for Ozian culture stems from the history books written a hundred and twenty years ago by the Oz Royal Historian, L. Frank Baum. Tynker's first attempt at publishing, The Poetry Book of Oz, is a collection of character based fantasy rhymes a long time coming.
