My name is Ben Ferrari. I am 31 years old and I live in Concord, a suburb of San Francisco Cal. I am married to a great girl named Yvonne, and we have a 8 month old son named Owen. I'm an electician in San Francisco, a job that I do love. But comics is still the dream, and I will be a published artist before I die.

I had the honor to work for Rob Liefeld, oh about 8 years ago, in the Extreme and Maximum Press era. I was assistant editor to Matt Hawkins, although you'll have to take my word for it, my name never appeared anywhere. It was the best job in the world, and lasted about a year and a half. I met so many people during my time there, including people I am now talking to again for the first time because of this thing called Comicspace, like Brian Denham, Norm Rapmund and John Stinsman. I remember Brian and I got along well, and he asked me once if I thought he should study Silvestri's stuff in order to be a more popular artist. I said "Well, yeah, if that is what's selling, it couldn't hurt." Brian had too much self respect for that, and obviously went his own way. Now he is very respected and becoming more well known every day.

The icon i am using is the back cover i did recently for the cover of my graphic novel, Sleepbringer Stories, Vol. 1, now available at Lulu.com. The colors are by Nick Maradin. I have some Sleepbringer shirts for sale at www.cafepress.com/sleepbringer, by the way.

Sleepbringer Stories is a anthology book I have been writing, drawing, inking and lettering for the last 3 years. I have 3 out of 4 stories done, with the script for the final story complete, for a total of 80 or so pages. I have the book completed in rough "submission format" at Lulu.com. I have sent off the books to 6 publishers, wish me luck!


I have some Sleepbringer and random stuff at www.earthboundcomics.com, some political musings at www.antinational.blogspot.com, and email at sleepbringerstories@hotmail.com.
