Wow, really nice!!!
I was under the impression that ben wasn't taking small commissions any more?
Can I ask how much this set you back?

Sorry mate, can't reveal the price. All I can say is it was a more than fair price and we are so grateful he took this on. Steph told me these are the last single letter canvases Ben will produce too

Congrats, they look fantastic. And you are right, Ben is a gent. The direct buying process is civilised and rewarding. Like you, my lips will be forever sealed beyond that ;D And happy anniversary. Myself and Mrs HB will be celebrating ours on Saturday. The last thing she wants to see is another Eine in the house  |

Steph told me these are the last single letter canvases Ben will produce too ...ha, that's what she told me back in February too! (to be fair, mine were dated 2006/2008) Congrats though, nice pieces, I love mine...  |

Well, I guess now Ben/Steph will have a couple dozen emails in their inboxes asking for "just one, please"...

It's all very well being coy about the price but the fact you've even posted this on the forum could cause Ben & Steph headaches. It seems that they've told several people (me included) over the last few months that there would be no more single letter canvases.
I hope you at least had to prove it was your wedding anniversary???

Hey thanks for all the compliments guys, as far as these go, I emailed with what we were interested in, and we also have dealt with a major tragedy this year, I believe Ben took these on as he understood what had happened, and wanted to help me make our anniversary special for me and the mrs.

I hope you at least had to prove it was your wedding anniversary??? At least you're happy for the guy eh? Steph told me she gets commission emails all day every day, so i doubt it being posted on here will make any difference to her whatsoever, it'll just be a few more emails for her to say no to.... Lovely canvases mate, well done getting hold and a happy anniversary! |

Cheers saint! Adding to the commentary, I didn't post on here to pi$$ people off, I posted to show some awesome art and thank Ben and Steph publicly! That's it that's all. And I agree with saint, I'm sure they get slammed with emails everyday, and part of being an artist is choosing which homes are fit to display your art. I'm just grateful they chose mine as one of those homes!

I agree. Ben's a grown up. It's perfectly cool that he gets to choose who he paints for.

He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist

Balboa, you sound bitter and plain annoying. Disappointing to say the least.
Congrats to you, pinballwizard. Really great, and I am sure well-deserved AND obviously appreciated!

I thought we were all here to enjoy art and appreciate it! Had I known a thanks and posting a couple pics would drum up this I would have not done it at all. Just though other members would enjoy seeing some of Bens new work... Maybe I shouldn't have posted these at all... |

Ben can paint for whoever he likes. Not sure he needs to give reasons why or why not.
Pinball - I reckon the forum is exactly the place to be showing us these pics.
Hope it hasn't soured the anniversary.

Probably you got them done because he really likes that particular letters, or had them lying around (B/Ben - S/Steph). ;D
congrats for your anniversary too.
