Little Edward

Hey All, Here's a drawing I did in my San Francisco sketchbook...of Little Edward Scissorhands. Done in straight pencils and inks for the line art. I added grey and blue tones with markers. Let me know what you think? I'm a fan of this Tim Burton movie...I totally remember going the the theatre all those many years to see this film....man I'm old. :P

I'll catch you all later,

Xtra Death Race sketches.

Hey all!

Just wanted to upload a page from my sketchbook that I finished up.
I started on this page in Shanghai for the group doodle session I had with the art team at Trigger.
Now I had sometime to finish it up....and now I'm showing it to all of you.
Let me know what you think?

This Wednesday I go back in teaching my class...hopefully all the students will have their 60 pages of rough sketches ready for me to look over...we will need to pick 6 character designs to take to the next step to develop further.

Time to go now...I'll catch you all later!

Cheers,
Axel

T-Shirts

Hey all!!!

How's everyone doing out there? Has the New Year started out nicely for all of you? It sure started out well for a man named Ted Williams It's crazy how fast things have turned around for this man....with the help of the internet.

Well, wanted to share a link to where you can buy t-shirts with my art on them. Fashion Matador
The folks at Fashion Matador approached me about doing shirts that had some of my doodles on them. Hopefully, you like what is being offered.

Well, I'll catch you all later. I'll see about posting a doodle before my trip out of the country.
