Tim Baron is an artist, illustrator, and skateboarder who resides in Indiana.

He’s designed skateboards for companies like Tony Hawk, The Property Brothers, Birdhouse Skateboards, Plan B, Creature, H-Street, and Super 8 Skateboards.

Tim designed a board for Tony Hawk that was released in the Spring of 2021 and sold out. One year later, Tim was asked to design the official “Hawk Vs. Wolf” podcast board for Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis which also sold out.

Tim has designed several ReAction figures for SUPER7. His turn-around drawings and color ways were used to create such figures as They Live, Lost Boys, Anthrax, King Diamond, and Rancid. Tim also did the card art for the Phantom Star Killer “Red Baron Banshee” edition figure.

In late 2022, Super7 released action figures of Tim’s “Astro Zombie” character as part of their ReAction figure toyline. Waves one and two sold out.

Tim creates in traditional and digital media. In 2019 he made the jump to the iPad Pro and Procreate where he spends much of his time creating. Tim‘s style can best be described as “fun-scary.” He continues to be inspired by the toys, monsters, nostalgic artifacts, and joyful memories of his childhood.

Toys and Skateboarding helped make Tim the artist he is today.

Tim’s love for skateboarding started in middle school, after his friend gave him his first skateboard - forever changing his life.

The discovery of skateboarding and its accompanying subculture initiated the next phase of Tim‘s creative development. Within the pages of Thrasher magazine, Tim discovered the legendary Bones Brigade, the art of VC Johnson and Jim Phillips, the frantic scratchings of Pushead, and punk rock bands like the Misfits.

For Tim, there was a symbiotic relationship that tied skateboarding and art together. Skateboarding, like art, forces the participant to see things in new and different ways. The skateboarder sees with a second sight—noticing the endless potential to skate everyday objects like stairs, handrails, and curbs.

In August 2018, Adam Goldberg contacted Tim to feature his custom figures in the background of the Goldbergs episode, “Bohemian Rap City.” They appear briefly in a toy store scene behind the Sucklord and Sean Giambrone.

In August 2018, (the day after Tim got the absolute worst annual review at his corporate office job) Producer/Director Adam Goldberg contacted Tim to feature his custom action figures in the background of the Goldbergs episode, “Bohemian Rap City.” They appear briefly in a toy store scene behind the Sucklord and Sean Giambrone.

Tim’s work has since been featured in the Hawk vs Wolf podcast, Property Brothers (S5E3), PBS, 21Alive, Toy Talk Show, and San Diego Comic-Con.

Tim continues to ride his skateboard and bleeds art and creativity everywhere he goes. His life mission is best summarized in four simple but combustible words…

Go Skate. Go Create.
