I have been good mates with Ben for about 20 years now, firstly through school then through University (although Ben went to some art college that just happened to be near me) and ever since, so can say the following with confidence:

He has been an honest, dependable mate for a long time and is someone with a thoughtful nature and a dry, sometimes self deprecating wit. We have had many a good laugh together not always at each others expense.

He likes talking, and will knowledgeably discuss very many topics from the important ones right down to the totally pointless ones given the chance. He is well educated and has considered, well-informed opinions on most things (although I think he is pretty much always wrong).

He is both academically bright and very artistically gifted and could have forged a successful career in virtually anything. The fact he chose to go the hard route and chose a job in design and art shows that he is obviously true to himself and believes in his abilities. Although this decision may have looked a little fool hardy to begin with, it is really now starting to work out and he is making a considerable commercial success drawing stuff. This is a slight annoyance to me as I have to sit in front a spreadsheet all day while he gets to draw pictures for a living!

The bottom line is that he is a decent, honest and dependable bloke with integrity...
