It was a HUGE honor for me to do his image for BEN TEMPLESMITH - who proclaimed upon asking me for the above drawing, "I've never had someone do a commission for me before. This will be my first!"
If you don't know who Ben is, a quick run down: He's a formidable illustrator, a creator of the highest degree, and looks most dapper in his three piece suits. Visit the link above for more proof.
It is to say that as a whole, he is an intimidating individual on multiple fronts. And now... I had to draw for him. I don't mind telling you, it made for a very long Saturday night which turned into a Sunday morning trying to come up with the concept. I just hope that he's happy with the results.
PS - If I've turned Ben off from ever getting any other commissions from fellow professionals in the future because I did such a piss-poor job with this image which popped his proverbial commissions cherry (and now he's completely allergic to the idea of ever doing it again because of the whole ordeal), I sincerely apologize for f*cking it up for everyone else. Really, really sorry.

Well, I've been following your stuff for some time, and I think it's radical. Keep it up, more and more people are bound to notice.

Awesome. I like this one a lot, man.
awesome, love the composition on this one!
It is an amazing piece and the only way it would stop Ben from getting another commission is that he would be afraid that he could never top this one.
Very cool! I spent some time looking at it.
