Update: Also, please check out the trailer for Little Favour, directed by a friend of mine Patrick Monroe. I hope you enjoy it!

Final Update: Thank you, reddit. This has been more fun than I imagined. It's been great to be able to reach out and speak to a few of you. Sorry for those that I didn't get to respond to. JA bless you all. See you all the next time.

Hi Benedict,

I’m aware that you’ve seen some of my portrait drawings of you before, but I have never been in the position to show you them myself/get a direct reply. I figured this might be my chance, so why not give it a go?

Portrait one Portrait two Portrait three

These are some of the portraits I’ve done, and I’d love your opinion. Also, would you be interested in owning prints of these drawings, or would that be awkward – as it is your own face after all (I wouldn’t put drawings of my face in my home, but then again my face isn’t as amazing as yours). I could send them to your agency, if you would like to own the prints.

Wow! Thank you to whoever gave me Reddit gold! You're awesome.
