  1. So funny. It's like a "one minute later" cover

  4. I got two books by Ben in the mail today. The first is his comic, Ouroboros. I haven't had a chance to read it, but it looks beautiful. It's 24 pages, wordless, and done in a similar style to his covers seen on this blog.

    The other book I received is his small edition, screen printed book, "The Bento Bestiary". It's in 3 colors and is insanely gorgeous. It's a collection of mythical beasts with a full page illustration on each spread. It isn't cheap, but it's made by hand in very small numbers. If this is your kind of thing, I would highly recommend it (both, actually). I imagine it will be very difficult to find either Ouroboros or The Bento Bestiary in a North American comic shop, so order them through Ben's website.
