NEW: Prints of this artwork now available!
(Also purchase a bigger jpg version to see how it is made)
We should all try to have a romantic attitude...
You can view the sketch in progress at this link .
Model: Suzy
Jessica was sitting on this bench and looking a bit lonely .
Now she is in better company with this mysterious man.
I took this photo in Anderlecht, Belgium, not so long ago...
I also made the drawing as usual. This is part of "Pencil Vs
Camera Beta Version" (colored drawings on black paper).
Drawing on black is a bit more difficult as it is the opposite
process of the way I've been drawing since many years.

>>> Review from THE DAILY MAIL for this picture:
"A blonde looks away as a male admirer with flowers is
left with a broken heart: The artist said he has been deeply
influenced by Belgian Surrealism, German Expressionism,
American Pop Art and Social Realism" (Matt Blake, The
Daily Mail, July 2012)

Every now again you have one of those "No why didn't I think of that?" moments and such was one of those moments when I first came across Ben's work. My immediate reaction was "Wow! This is so original."
I have followed Ben's work with interest and apologise for not always leaving a comment, but I don't always have the time.
This piece is simply beautiful. The hi definition of the original image combined with the hi definition drawing, blend so seemlessly that it's almost like looking through a window of time.
I really hope that Ben comes to have all the success that he deserves.

Ok Ben..........I am going to have a go at this.
Having been an admirer of your work for SO long, particularly your earlier work, I am finding the difference in your drawings quite marked.
Before, the artwork seemed to blend into the photo more and I did prefer it this way.
I wonder also why you chose to put a dark border around the drawing?
I understand you 'philosophy' behind 'pencil versus art' and it has always been a great idea.
However, I would like to see a little more 'blending' like you used to do.
I do see that the border is pretty much the same colour as the iron on the park bench which is a clever idea but this border bothers me.
Just my own opinion.
Love your work and idea.

I love the way you use night-drawing for this scene. Adds up to the juxtaposition and makes this beautiful.

Blimey, I really like this. I love the dapper gent with flowers courting a wistful lass the old fashioned way. The integration of the medias is superb.

This is probably the most creative thought provoking, quality art i have seen in a long while. I love this a short second to the couple on the bridge with balloon heart. They are like a story of the dream girl/ or guy we envision as romance in our younger years. Marvelous.

I really love the colors in this picture. I suspect that this photo is supposed to represent one-sided love?

I really love your pencil vs camera work! I should say, though, that the man looks a bit stiff. However, beyond that, you did a really good job.

This image sure captures a lot in one shot. Her body language and facial expression coincides well with the graphic. Just a great job merging these two kinds of art work together.
