Welcome to Paris

[ben_templesmith]

Back in the studio now, after a great trip in Paris ( after starting in Vegas for the Diamond retailer summit, which was also great! ) Now back to trying to get up to speed with all the work...and more art to post here...

Paris was a blast. A special thanks to Thierry Mornet for organizing me being there for Delcourt, as well as Francois, Jeanne and

Not a Snowtown tattoo?

[ben_templesmith]

Nope, no snowtown tattoo for me. If I get more, I have plans for what they are and they're all history related.

[abortingthesyn]

Youch! That must have hurt getting it there!

Have you got a photo of the finished work??

[ben_templesmith]

Nah, didn't hurt much. Will show when it's all healed. It's just a red cross basically.

[abortingthesyn]

Ahh ok. I would've thought that part of your arm would be painful cause it's a quite sensitive area and you don't see many tattoos with that sort of placement

I have my next tattoo planned for leaves across both arms to the elbow with little animals in it like frogs, kingfisher, praying mantis etc so when you look at it it looks like leaves but when you look closer you can see all the animals.

But yes.. I have the tattoo bug.

Oh and Welcome to Hoxford 2 is awesome btw, picked it up this week here in Sydney!

[ben_templesmith]

Huge thanks on Hoxford #2!

[bonniegrrl]

Nice tattoo! I hope this means you get into secret parties now.

[bonniegrrl]

By the way, let me know if you'd still like to be profiled on Starwars.com about what you created in Star Wars Tales, as well as Wormwood, Hoxford and other work.

[ben_templesmith]

I'd love to do one. I'd just be little help with the old star wars short story I did. It was a very quick project I only vaguely remember now!

[bonniegrrl]

no worries. It would be mostly about your new stuff.
Do you want me to email you the interview questions or do you prefer doing a phone interview? Either way you can let me know here -- bonnie@grrl.com.

Those pictures all ROCK and I wish I was anywhere where you would come visit, but I also wanted to let you know that your cut did not cut anything... :)

[ben_templesmith]

Cheers and cheers about the cut...freaking LJ...sigh.

I do get around and like to travel for signings, so you never know, maybe I will be somewhere you could ge tot one day to sign a book or two.
