Haunted Fire Studio :: Benjamin Hall :: Illustrator and Comic Book Artist

Things continue to gain speed for me. I just completed a page of Filthy Habit that was all establishing shots and cars and neon signs... it took me three days to ink, but I'm glad to be done with it. If I can ink a page every two days I should have this book wrapped up around the beginning of next month... which would be really cool. I'm looking forward to having another finished project to add to the pile. I'd like to get some of these sequentials off my back so I can do some straight up illustrations. I've been getting a lot of great inspiration and I'd like to put some to paper. But the sequentials are on a bit of a time table and really need to take precedence in order for them to ever see the light of day.

There just are not enough hours... why do I have to sleep?!
