Feb. 7, '10: Ben Continues Pop Art Portrait Series with LOST?s John Locke

I've been watching ABC's LOST since day one, and while I'm not always a step ahead of the story, I do consider myself a big fan -- Especially of Terry O'Quinn's Emmy-Award-winning character, John Locke. The last season started on the 2nd, which reminded me after the long break how influential a character he was. Not just in the context of the story, but myself personally. I've always identified with his uniquely conflicting outer solemnity and inner turmoil.

Jan. 28, '10: Ben Goes Green with Upcycled Notepads

I just listed a new item in my Etsy store -- Upcycled notepads. Constructed (almost) entirely out of materials destined for the wastebasket; I made 7 pads with approximately 75 sheets each, 3"x3" (same size as Post-It notes), glue-bound, with a custom stamp on the back of my logo intertwined with the universal sign for recycling. All of them have similar content but are truly one-of-a-kind.

Jan. 7, '10: First New Work of 2010 is Admiral Ackbar Illustration

Happy new year! Hope 2010 is off to a good start for you. I took some time earlier this week to get back to good old fashioned pencil-to-paper drawing, culling inspiration from one of my personal favorite sources, "Star Wars." Uploaded to the Illustrations section of my portfolio, the new piece is a stylized interpretation of what Admiral Ackbar would look like in his "true" form: (very) fresh calamari!

Dec. 31, '09: REX Prints Now Available on Etsy

Based on some recent feedback I got about my first watercolor-and-ink, "REX," I've decided to take my first steps into the world of art prints. Based on previous good experience, I work with iPrintFromHome -- I scan my artwork, do my own color-adjustment where necessary, export high-resolution lossless TIFFs, upload them to my account there, and place orders. I've started with 10 prints to check color while accounting for potential demand from my store on Etsy.

Dec. 29, '09: Second Simon and Garfunkel Painting Finished

While I built the canvas for this piece at the same time as the corresponding 24"x24" I completed early in October, I only just finished painting the 36"x36" today. I wanted to come at the color scheme a little differently this time to solidify a conceptual double-entendre. The piece is subtitled "A Hazy Shade of Winter," which reflects the monochromatic blue tones I used, the time in which it was worked on, and a track by the same name from the 1968 "Bookends" album, from which I derived the source photo.
