Ted McGrath doodles for some big names and now he’s doodling just for us! For his feature, we tried something new and fun. We interviewed him by asking a few simple questions and he answered in true Ted form – doodles only.
Q: I know this is a weird way to start an interview, but what's in your pockets right now?
Q: Where are you from?
Q: What is your day job? Night job? (If they are different)
Q: If you didn't do what you do, what would you be doing?
Q: How often do you draw?
Q: You have a lot of handwritten type in your work. Do you have a favorite way of drawing letters and words?
Q: What does your workspace look like?
Q: Read any good books/magazines lately?
Q: What does the future look like for you?
Q: Any last words? Advice? Warnings?
