Ben's Stuff. Exhibit. Art show.

[Ben]

Oh yeah.... a side note...

would you believe Ive never had access to a scanner since owning a computer? Now, I have like a jillion of them, computers that is.
Just yesterday my friend randomly gave me a printer/copier/fax/scanner pimp model HP unit.

I can finally show you guys what I do. It dawns on me that You dudes (or the internet in general) has never seen much of my actual pen/cil skills. The tablet is all well and fine...but its just not the same.

I wish my stuff was not all like 4by5 feet. Im going to see if I have any cool sketches floating around, and if not, Im going to make some. Might have some tattoo stuff somewhere.

[Ben]

Cant get the lampshade effect on my crap webcam. Just looks like a big ball of light

[Ben]

Um, yeah. After its fiberglassed and bondoed

[Ben]

Nah...no sodomy. I have plans to make a rather secure codpiece.

Im currently half way done the upper-torso shell. Its printed off, and Im assembling the pieces. It may be small...hoping I dont have to re-size it all

Im hoping to have all pieces of the suit done by January. My Grant deadline is for february 1, and I have some research and publishing stuff to do in Jan.



I have space in the torso for tiny headlights, 'brake' lights and a compartment in the back to keep your weed in.

Ben, why are you such a badass?

[SaiKar]

Probably because the government pays him welfare to not have a job.

[Ben]

your mother is a homo

[RockJohnAxe]

holy ****! that stuff is awesome! I absolutely love the Squid Girl BTW.

The Suit is just beyond my comprehension. What a amazing but daunting task it would be to create a real-size suit of any sort.

Good Stuff man... Good Stuff!

compartment in the back to keep your weed in.

Im sold!

A couple of days ago, I was contacted by a colleague who needed a full on art exhibit made in 39 hours.
I was not prepared. But then I was like "fuk this, Im gonna bring tha ruckus". And I made it happen.

Since putting it up last night, Ive had some interest. I may or may not have a buyer for over a thousand dollars. Ive done tattoos worth that much...but never an illustration or painting.

I hope this equates to making a name for myself as an artist in the city I live in. Im sure tired of designing logos and chalk boards and tattoos and stuff.

More to come. The actual exhibit wont start until april.

[Dragonium]

Wow, that's something else. I am most envious of your success.

[Prpl_Mage]

Love that tree one, all stuff looks great.

[zuhane]

Whoooooaaa! Nice!

[fruckert]

...wait, you've done $1'000 tats?
That's...interesting.
Kind of curious as to how they looked, now.

[Natako]

Those are awesome! I especially like the tree and the bunny...toast...thing. Great work!

they look like full sleeves, or full back peices. I mostly did black and grey work when I pushed ink, so they still look quite good.
