Description

I've been a fan of Ben's since waaaaaay back when he was helping out Tim Truman on Scout... where he designed and drew an Israeli Army mecha called "Big Moishe". I was planning to get a sketch from Ben at the Dallas ComicCon, but hadn't decided for sure what I wanted. I went to his table, hoping something would come to me, and while he was talking and sketching for someone else, I started leafing through his art-for-sale. Imagine my surprise when I found a fully-inked illustration of a mecha that looked a lot like Big Moishe! I mentioned the resemblance and Ben (who was shocked I even remembered his work on Scout) said that it actually was a drawing of B.M. that he'd drawn for his "You Can Draw Mecha" book. Needless to say, I scarfed this baby up! No more confusion on what to draw since here was an already inked, published piece of art. Pencil and ink on 11" x 14" Bristol.

UPDATE 01/04/05: I received the "You Can Draw Mecha" book for Christmas, and this piece appears on not one, not two, not three, but SIX pages! It was used as an "in progress" piece on pages 75-80 of the book from it's first vague sketched framework all the way to the finished piece you see here.
