Ben wasn't there just now - two guys and a girl painting.

Thanks. That should keep him in prints for at least 6 months.

Ben is an awesome dude. Hoping he gets to Chicago this year to get up on some walls

I'm always a little disappointed when an artist hires someone to paint their art for them. I can see using assistants on larger pieces. But at least be there working on it too and supervising your interns.

It is now (typo)

Ben is such a cool dude and he would not give a f**k about you taking a selfie with him. He's the most witted artist I met, for sure he would take the piss a bit.

Maybe edit that a bit mj

[mj]

You right mikey, thanks moderator for editing that and sorry for the naughty word.

Know what you mean to a degree but if its just the mechanical stage like colouring in then its just practical. Looks like Ben painted all the designs and patterns himself so to actually fill the voids would take him forever!

^^^ Yeah and to do a 400m wall finished in one week by yourself is impossible no matter how good you are, he did do every letter out line plus He has been there from 6AM every morning !

Did he really do it all himself?, Christ that deserves a round of applause then.

I've visited this on a daily basis as its 5mins from my shack.
Can honestly say I've seen Ben working hard on this every day which is no mean feat considering there is little shade there from the sun & weirdly enough we've had some.
Some of those 'interns' are known to have skills of their own too.

This is looking really great. Love the circus font mashed up with the shutter font - really pops!
