"There are four ways that I produce my work," explained Ben. "There is the traditional way, which is to simply draw the picture and hold out your hand with the scenery behind it. With this method I always remember that there has to be a contrast between your imagination and the reality of the photo. The second way is slightly different in that I print a very large picture of a background scenery and then place this on the wall and hold the drawing up to it. This gives me time to re-touch my work during and after. The third is to take a picture of my hand holding the drawing and then digitally match them up with a totally different background that I have photographed. I do not follow that particular method often. And the fourth and final way is to use the computer to create a digital background and add a digitally drawn picture to the scene."
