I bought a couple of paintings from Ben Tankard early last year and i like his broad style. This year, Ben contacted me and asked me what my ideal painting was. I must confess that i don’t really have an ideal image in my head as i like to see how the artist interprets the Falcon. However, Bespin has always been my favourite scene so i asked him to do something along those lines. Here’s what he came up with.

I must say, i really like it and for $40 plus postage, it’s a great price. There’s also a second painting entitled “Escape from Bespin” showing the top of the Falcon that i’d like to get when payday comes.

He’s also done a companion “Slave 1 over Bespin” painting that i’m rather taken with.

I thoroughly reccommend him. Check out his Etsy page and contact him if there’s something specific that you want painted.
