Superboy & Supergirl in Space - con print OA by Ben Ferrari

I actually sort of met Ben in the parking lot of Big Wow, as we and others were trying to determine if it was ok to park there since the lot was "closed." Just a small crowd who eventually went our separate ways to the con. So when he stopped me in Underground Alley, I took the time to look through his stuff when I normally might have passed by. But I do love to support the new and the unknown artists out there so I looked through what he had and picked up a couple pieces. This one was done to be a con print for the show and the other for a personal project through Ben's indy line, Pilot Studios. He sort of reminded me of me in a lot of ways, as a writer/creator who draws about as well as I do. (i.e. not the best artist out there but shows the effort:) He had a lot of passion for his books he created/wrote, so I bought some art.


From what I gather, Ben lays out his art with some blue pencil, then regular pencil, then inks. But where he really "finishes" the art is in the coloring, as you can see by comparing the original to the color print below. The print is also included with the art, as it is the "finished" art and the pencils are more like a tight full size prelim.
