Question 1

How do I "Get Tooned" by Ben?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy! Whether it’s for a birthday gift, a wedding invitation, or just for fun, simply head to our Contact Page. Send us a clear photo of the person (or pet!) you’d like Ben to draw, along with a few fun facts about their personality. Ben uses these details to find their "Aura" before he even starts sketching.

Question 2

What is Ben’s "Sketch-to-Toon" process?

Accepted Answer

Ben’s work is a hand-crafted journey. It starts with a deep mental "pre-visualisation," followed by a detailed pencil sketch with shading and depth. Next, he moves to pen illustration to define the bold, Anime-inspired lines. Finally, it enters the digital world to become a vibrant BCP Toon. It’s a lengthy process, but it ensures every character has a real "soul."

Question 3

Can I buy original sketches or signed prints?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are thrilled to offer signed, limited-edition prints of Ben’s original pencil sketches and pen illustrations. These are available at our Pembroke Pop-Up Shops and will be coming to the online store very soon. If you see a piece in the gallery you love right now, please Email Us for early-access purchasing.

Question 4

Does Ben illustrate books for other authors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Ben has a wealth of experience collaborating with local authors and community groups, including the recently published Pembroke Pub Poetry and books on Welsh Folk Dancing. If you are an author looking for a unique, character-driven "Toon" style for your cover or interior pages, Ben would love to hear about your project.

Question 5

How do I access the "Secret Publisher Vault"?

It contains full PDF manuscripts of Ben’s completed Graphic Novels and "entwined" character bibles.
