Ben Wedgie’s Organ
I don’t remember how I found out about Ben Wedgie originally, but I think it’s likely because Instagram suggested a photo that I might like, which is a man with red sneakers, tattoos, holding flowers, and standing on a sidewalk. I really love flowers so I liked the photo. I checked the caption and it’s hilarious — I don’t want to include it here but you should check it out.
Subsequently, I discovered that Ben really liked music — something equally important to me. He also has a huge collection of very nice sneakers — this guy is a keeper (LOL). And it’s how I eventually found his photo with an organ titled “Short shorts and long pipes” dated 2022-11-13.
Long story short, I followed him and really enjoyed his sense of humor. He posts Instagram stories that are very down to earth and oh-so-funny! I found myself yelling at the screen — “wtf can you REALLY say that? Really?” Daily — not kidding.
So I decided to make some images based on his photo — because besides that photo of him with his flowers, this is one of my favorite photos of his. It has all the things that I love to see in a man if I could find one — cute, boots, moustache, tattoos, music. What a combination!

These are other sketches rendered on the same day that I liked, but Ben liked the one above the most, so I didn’t make any more adjustments to any of them.
