Album Armor

The idea is totally innovative, and also reflective of what music becomes to so many of us. I love Ted's spin on St. George and the Dragon; it's an intriguiguing and provocative concept that invites the viewer to self-reflect. It engages the audience and I feel that the most powerful impressions are made in those interactions.

Any artist with this much dedication, imagination, and sincerity deserves to succeed - congrats Teddy

Ted is cool

Oh all those poor records. I wonder what would happen if you made a suit out of CD's? You'd have scales. Like a ....Dragon...hmm. Is that Darth Vader or a nazi helmet?

this is invigorating to watch! it's such a unique idea that encourages to explore all aspects of one's creativity!

this guy is going to be huge one day!

Amazing & Innovative new work Ted! I'm so lucky to have played a lil' part in your work.

You know tons of other people use music to the same effect in their lives. It's rad to see it expressed in such an open way.

Go Ted! Love it. Go Antagonists!

very well put together, sweet artwork (and nice title cards) ;) props!

how cool was that and intresting how you did that

the process of making it is very interesting - great work, ted!

I think this artist is exceptional because I have rarely seen so much dedication, ambition, struggle and willingness take risks without knowing before where it goes, just following his intuition...

Very brave and amazing result!!

Inspiring. True, all of it. Of course, I would never speak those sentiments out loud, let alone allow anyone to film me while doing it. But still.

Roborant and veridical. Meritoriously adept video and assiduous artist both laudable and enkindling. Right on dudes.

Dancing on the Ceiling!! Why?

Artist. Good. Art. Good. Dedication... Amazing. You.

so killer!!! truly inspiring! the point about the fight being the great part is so true . . .

It's great to hear about ted's passion for his projects and how he balances his artistic work with his life. this is a really cool vid

Very cool concept---congratulations! And thanks for including my work.

Ted's music influence on his art is moving and conceptually very innovative. This piece is inspirational because he points out his journey in completing the project..he started off with an idea and finished it and has a successful result. I think if all artists had a vision and brought it to fruition there would be more great art. Congrats Ted!

I found Ted's comment about "the struggle" to be inspirational...I needed that today!

Thanks for sharing this inspiring story. It helps to reinforce the concept that you have to pick an idea you believe in and go for it.

I did my very first art show with Antagonist, and will always remember it.

Theodore is sassy as always. He is the American Michael Landy. Well, a Long Island City Michael Landy with amphetamine attention to detail who puts back together what he breaks...including hearts.

Such an inspiration.. It is nice to see the various angles on this one piece.

I love the skulls and the armour, must've taken hours. Puts my music box made of melted vinyl records to shame...! Take it from me - it ain't easy to do!

My best memory of melting records came from working in a record store in the 80s where we had a shrink-rap machine. Putting the vinyl through the machine too often would make the vinyl pliable and we all used to make crazy things out of the vinyl and display them in our staff room. We also made a house out of the record boxes for Steve our Manager. Adventures in record store-land..

aw, ted - you are just amazing - and inspiring, always.

the more i see, hear and experience of Ted (who has hung my work on a couple occasions), the Antagonists and everyone involved, the more impressed i become. this doc is entirely inspiring and personally sustaining. (i want to run out right now to MY studio!) can't wait to see what Ted does next. the skulls are complex and brilliant...thoughtful and sincere.

Ted's work is deeply personal and yet manages to be relevant on a larger social context, being honest and somehow subtle at the same time. He deserves all his success not only because of his amazing artistic talent and vision and technical skills, but also because of all his hard work and dedication to both his own pieces and the larger artistic community as well. The Antagonist Movement is awesome, check it out!

this is inspiring.... it shows what hard work and dedication to one's intuition can become. thanks for giving us that.

Wow! Another great piece. Keep 'em coming Antagonists, I can't wait to see what's next!

I take a lot of pride in being a part of the Antagonists, so this documentary just makes me glow, especially since Ted has played such a crucial roll in encouraging the development of my own art. Ted’s work is amazing because it is visually stimulating as well as intelligent – an invaluable combination in any work of art. Things can only get better from here!

This is a fantastic documentary on the artist, his work and his beliefs. Thanks for sharing!!

Great art...great film!

his dedication and passion is evident in what he says and shows us. very cool!

Very interesting all around. Ted has created a unique, well executed piece of art that has genuine significance to him and uses an unusual medium. The end results are fanastic. Great work Ted! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Well done good sir. Stick to it and it will stick to you.

I've done 2 Antagonist art shows, and after watching this, i have a new found respect for Ted and his work.

I'm now looking forward to my next show with them.

The record art idea is amazing...

What sets apart an artists is originality, and emotion, and Ted embodies both.

Wow ! Ted is a wonderful artist ! awesome i wish you the best honey ! love what are you doing ! keep rocking !
