Tony DiTerlizzi’s IMAGINOPOLIS is the new official site for this author of the Spiderwick Chronicles and my favorite, Ted. It has news, information about Tony, shop, and FAQ. But best of all it has a glimpse into his art process and a books section where you too can download Ted wallpaper for your computer.
