Hi I'm Tim Barton, welcome to my artist profile.
I am a professional engineer designing bridges across Texas. In my free time I create space artwork.
I work on commissions frequently, creating artwork for websites, video games, and novels. If you would like to commission my services you can message me through a Deviant Art note (you will need to register first), or simply send me an email at timbarton411@yahoo.com.
