However, no matter the subject, Ted's captivatingly detailed technique and his innovative style appeal to all ages. Ted's work speaks to the child in all of us. He has illustrated many items for children. His work can be seen in everything from illustrated learning aids, such as children's text books and multi-media to fully-illustrated storybooks and fanciful tales for children.

Ted has been interested in aviation history since his own childhood.
