"Splendid Splinter"

Just in time for Memorial Day! In honor of Ted Williams' 1941 season, this one is constructed from 1,941 toothpicks.

I am not an art collector but my wife and I own a couple of pieces here and there. I love something out of the box. All of your work is amazing. At the risk of sounding like a broken record I hope to own some of your work one day. Another job well done!

Creative medium, excellent theme, and great execution! The stark color contrast really makes it pop, like an old-fashioned woodcut. Nicely done.

As a Ted collector I knew I would love the looks of this. Well done, Tim, well done!!

Great write up and great artwork of one the all time greats!

I got to ask, what did you do with it?

 

[tim carroll]

Thanks for all of the support, everyone! Being off for the summer (I teach), I know I am going to have a blast getting some more works out of my head and onto "canvas".

Great write up and great artwork of one the all time greats!

I got to ask, what did you do with it?

Are you talking about the piece? If so, I still own it. I'm debating whether to sell this one - after I sold the Hendrix I was kind of sad for letting it go - but I truly love the looks of the Ted. It is interesting to walk past it and see how the light reflects off of the toothpicks. It's almost like it is in motion. One of those "accidental, unintentional" things that happened to the piece. Makes me smile.

Well, it will soon no longer be in my possession. I am working on the final details...but this one will be on display soon at the Ted Williams Museum and Hitter's Hall of Fame at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL.
