Hey there all. I just built a website to promote my artwork, and thought you might like to take a gander. Feel free to leave me any comments! Thanks for being part of the great modelling community we have here.

Beautiful…just Beautiful Ted, excellent works of art. Indian Summer is my favorite piece. I thought I was an artist but looking over your work…well I’m ashamed.

Keep your pencil sharp and your eraser soft,

Thanks, guys. Nice to get feedback from normal people, instead of those artworld know-it-alls! Here's one I did not submit to the galleries. I instead gave it to the president of AFV Club -maybe we'll see as a future kit release?

Now thats a nice piece, details please. What and how was it painted, looks like pencil, water colors and airbrush.

Absolutely stunning work, Ted. Spring and Summer Stream...wow! You really capture the colors, those greens are beautiful..... and the contrast between mute and vibrant....I'm speechless. Only the originals, or will you offer giclee's/prints also? (yes, I'm cheap )

Thanks so much, guys. You're giving me an even bigger head. To answer Joe's question:
You're right -I painted the Centurion over a pencil drawing in acrylics, then airbrushed the shadows, smoke, and dust. Details were done with fine tipped pens and colored pencil.

I'm asking everyone I know for their support in voting for my submissions to the Saatchi Gallery in London. Please vote for a new picture every 2 weeks:

If I win this contest, I'll finally be able to have some prints made...and the owner of my favorite model shop very happy, too!

Hot linked goodness for ease of multiple votage:

I assume I am supposed to vote a "10" on the page that comes up? Please advise.
'Cause I am all 'bout stacking the vote. That is how some of the most popular POTUS got elected. LOL.

Thanks so much, Shaun! I'm hoping everyone who really likes my work will vote: 10 being the highest rating. I'm tempted to enter my completed 1/35th scale Stryker model as "modern art."
