Wow, YOU'RE BACK! It's wonderful! I've already begun to worry about your absence... and miss our discussions as well. :-)
HUGE thank you for your amazing job! As usual I don't even know which icon to choose. Say something funny is AWESOME, but sweet&innocent is fantastic too.. Aaaahgrgh! I'll take something anyway and will credit you of course. :-)

Oh, I never really left - I was in lurking mode. :) Real life got a little busy, but I never abandoned Ben for a sec. I have two longer Ben-centric essay-like thingies in the making, and more icons are coming in the near future, so don't worry, I'll be around. ;)

Thanks so much for the comment!

Two Ben-centric essays + more icons... sounds fantastic! :-) Hope you'll share with us these masterpeces. ;-)

BTW, I've begun a serious Ben-centric-T-shirt project lately. Reasonable T-shirts are already found and made fashionable (with a little help from local tailor)... now the most creative part comes: the special BEN design!

Any thoughts? ;-)

Oh, they are not masterpieces at all, just my slightly crazy way of coping with the hiatus. Plus the whole Ben-kills-Jacob scenario bothers/fascinates me to no end, and I'm still trying to make sense of it. This time I'm armed with philosophy books. :)

As for the tee project, I'd definitely use a funny quote. A classic Ben quote maybe. Something short but distinctly Ben like "Who cares?"/"So?" or "If you mean time traveling bunnies, then yes." or "You guys got any milk?" There are a few. You could add a picture of a mushroom cloud or a bunny or a bottle of milk respectively. :D

OR you could use the movie quote generator or the sloganizer to come up with a funny line about Ben, like
Say it with Ben: Jack screwed up. Big time.
Ben Linus. Enjoy the difference.
Ben Linus. The smart choice.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to Ben Linus.

I'm in the middle of making "Team Ben" icons, those might work on t-shirts, too. e.g.

TEAM BEN
he always has a plan

Or something like that. :)

Everyone is doing nothing but coping with hiatus: you study Aristotele and Platone, I plunge myself into tee design. :-)

Thanks for such a detailed advice! I've already done the first design on a white tee, it's plain and simple: Benfaces + Benquotes.

I spent some quality time with Aristotle the other day. His ideas about vice and virtue were very, very interesting. Some were even pro-Ben. :)

I dig your design! It has "pure Ben-love" written all over it. And "crazy" if somebody sees you in it in public :D Great quotes & pics, btw. I made a DHARMA tee last year and I'm so gonna make a Team Ben version, too, but first I gotta finish the icons. :)

My Ben Linus, your Ben Linus, Ben Linus for all!
I think it's perfect.

:D I agree. Picture? I have no idea. There are so many to choose from. Take a look around the gallery at michaelemerson.net. I think there's a pic of Michael there holding a globe. That would fit perfectly, imo. :)

Well... no wonder Alexander Macedonian was his best pupil. :-) He had a right philosophy to follow! :-)

Thank you very much! And YES, a lot of people actually saw me in it... because I went to my friend's birthday wearing this tee plus mini denim skirt. :-) It looked very interesting, considering the BIG slogan "I want to get LOST with Ben" on the chest and above mentioned mix on the back. :-) Everyone kept asking my friend: who's Ben?? Why is he so cool??

As to slogans, I've created (well, sloganizer created them, of course) several even more outstanding ones. For example:
Don't play with fire. Play with Ben Linus
I am DYYYYYYING to have this slogan all over my chest! :-D

As for now, what do you think about a diptych like this:
Picture + slogan: NOBODY DOES IT LIKE BEN LINUS

This is just... awesome. :D

Niiiice! (although Locke might have a different opinion since he's on the receiving end of Ben's brilliant badassery ;)

Wow, I've just used your sloganizer, and you know what it came out with???
My Ben Linus, your Ben Linus, Ben Linus for all!
