Sneak Peeks and Bonus!

Hello world full of gorgeous people! Yes, all of you are beautiful, sounds corny and all but it don't mean it ain't true! Anyway...I hope you've had a wonderful week so far. If not, well...I'll wish really hard for a fabulous next week. Ahhh, I'm just full of love and caring today (hopefully it'll stay that way for a while). Here's a sneak peak at some pinups I'm working on for a friend. If you'd like me to draw you some characters, portraits, heck anything, hit me up! cbenillustration@gmail.com I'm currently taking commissions and stuff. If you don't, spread the word to your friends anyway! Artists gotta eat somehow haha

And I have a bonus today! Here's the final jacket for the latest book I illustrated together with the help of Jason Piperberg. The book is already being printed and will be sold in Dominican Republic and in Germany! WOOT! Go International sales! Oh, did I mention? Thanks to the amazing author, the inside illustrations will be printed in full color! Ahhhh, so busy but happy. Sorry about the low res. I'll make another post once I have a hard copy of it, it's actually a pretty interesting book (I'll definitely talk more about it later).

I hope you have a beautiful weekend full of happy adventures. Love you all! Stay true and beautiful <3

Holiday Special Coming Up!

Hey guys! Sorry it’s been so long since I posted a full piece. I have a lot to show you but most of it hasn’t been published yet so have to keep it on the DL for now. These are sneak peaks of two pieces I did for C.O.P.O.U.T comics. First friday of December, if you’re around town, make sure to stop by Old City in Philadelphia and get some free issues plus more!

If you can’t make it to Philly it’s ok, you can still read all the great stories in C.O.P.O.U.T’s official Tumblr.

Poker Night

Commission for a friend. You know who you are  =]

Stay tuned friends, more fun drawings coming up.

Updates & Sneak Peaks

Hey all! I finally moved in to Madison. Place is great, but that’s a post for another time. Today I wanted to post some of the things I’m working on. It’s all sneak peaks but I’m juggling so many jobs right now it’s kinda difficult to keep you guys updated on all of them. I can promise one thing, if you stick around you won’t regret it. Lots of awesome images coming up. Below is an original character (Yuri) I drew for someone special (you know who you are, hope you like it). I took the opportunity to try out a new painting technique that proved to be really fun and have really awesome results. Below it is a very small sneak peak of something else I’m working on which you’ll all see very soon. Stay tuned folks, until next week!

Soup, Loans, Packing and Likenesses

Hello all! It’s chilly up here in NJ, so I’ve been living off of soup and tea since I got back from NY Comic Con (stay tuned for a post on my adventures there…might take me a while though). This post won’t be long. I am in the process of moving to Madison, NJ. It’s a much more eventful town 25 minutes from my current location. I love new beginnings, specially when they involve more job opportunities. My grace period is almost coming to an end, together with all the recent graduates. But I digress, between massive laundry and packing I’ve been trying to get likenesses on some personal characters I have for a story (you will hear more of this story in the future I hope). I might still change their haircuts and some of their features…anyway I hope you enjoy my silly doodles.

There’s more finished work coming up soon. here’s a sneak preview of that…slowly but surely painting tortilla chips and cards and dips and other things…Until next time stay true and beautiful <3
