[13] Tull has collaborated with a variety of internationally recognized artists such as Jim Shaw, Raymond Pettibon and Marnie Weber.

Tull curated a number of exhibitions internationally including the landmark group exhibition Aspects of the Archaic Revival. [19] The exhibit focused on the mystical subtext taking place within the collective subconscious of LA’s contemporary art scene and created a dialogue with the city’s burgeoning group of mystics, healers and visionaries. The exhibition traveled to the Netherlands and Germany.
