Grumpty Dumpty

I know he doesn't really look grumpty, but it was the name that popped into my head when I scanned this in. Amber was drawing a... round man tonight when we were sketching, so of course I wanted to see what I could do. This is all sketched with ballpoint pen and then I went back with some ink washes. That's why it looks a little weird and a little creepy if you were wondering. I tried to use all my mistakes and turn them into part of the image. Meh. What do you guys think? -Will

Names and Numbers ad

I did this illustration the other night for a Heating/Ac company ad for the phone book. I like to imagine them all riding around in the back of that truck day in and day out, urgently waiting for the call. It's like the A-team, without all the drama.

If you need an illustration you can contact me at william_terrell AT hotmail dot com. To find me, apparently this client had to talk to more than a dozen people, whom all recommended me but didn't remember my email. Maybe I should make a phone book ad of me running out of the back of a truck to urgently do caricatures? I would of course be B.A Baracas, only white, and more round. I've been wondering what I'd look like covered in gold chains.

Ron Roberts Caricature

I've been getting a lot of caricature commissions lately. This is one of Ron Roberts one of our local weather guys. Someone commissioned it for his birthday, I hope he liked it. Interesting side note, when I moved to Lubbock my senior year of HS, we only had three people come to talk to our graduating class about careers; the cops, the marines, and Ron Roberts. So for about 2 minutes I considered a career as a weather caster. Hmmmm.... maybe I should look into that again?

Ps. Here's the initial pencil sketch too, I was really happy with it...
