Benedict Cumberbatch is actually just an awesome goofball.
![cumberbabble:
It turns out the man who’s rapidly becoming known for playing cold, calculating geniuses has a completely different side. Once you hear him playCabin Pressure’s Martin Crieff, the almost pathologically insecure captain of a decrepit charter plane, you’ll never look at him the same way again—and that’s a good thing. It shows just what a well-rounded, versatile actor Cumberbatch truly is, and it reminds the rest of us just what an important quality versatility is.

So, I have an extra print of my Benedict Cumberbatch as the Angel Islington painting, and I have absolutely no use for it whatsoever. Since it was the first proof, the colors are slightly less saturated than I intended, which I have been assured is completely unnoticeable to anyone that is not me. It’s also been sitting on my printer for the last two months, so there may be a few scuff marks that are unnoticeable when looked at directly.
But I used good ink and paper, so chucking it is a no go. I’ve decided to give it away and hopefully make someone else happy.
Dimensions are 9.38”x13” (the actual image size) printed on 11”x14” Strathmore smooth Bristol with an Epson WF7510 printer. Bears artist proof, title, and my signature in pencil along the bottom.
Da Rules:
- Reblog to your heart’s content, but only to first one counts.
- Likes do not count toward entry.
- I don’t particularly care if you are following me, but if you are, this grants you one extra entry. (Two if you were following me prior to this announcement.)
Other Things:
- Winner shall be selected via random number generator.
- I will ship this anywhere in the world at my own expense, but I’m cheap, so it probably won’t be priority shipping. If you live somewhere outside the U.S. where this could for some inexplicable reason incur customs fees, those are on you.
- I will be contacting the winner via ask box to request a shipping address. If I cannot contact you, or if you do not respond within 24 hours, I will select another winner.
- Also, if you’re under 18, make sure this is cool with your parents.
End Date: May 30, 2013. I will draw and contact the winner at approximately 7:00 p.m. EST.
Allons-y!
"One time I went shopping for shirts and suits, but then I found the most beautiful pair of socks and I thought, “I just have to buy this”. So when I did, and I was at the counter, the cashier told me, “You can get another pair of socks for a half off since we’re having a special sale.” So I did, I went and got another pair of socks and then they told me, this time, that if I buy another pair of socks, I’ll get another pair of socks for free…And so I bought another socks to get another pair of socks for free and they told me again that if I buy another pair of socks, this time, they’ll let me have two pairs of socks for free. And I did. So by the end of the day, I had bought about 7 pairs of socks and no new suits or shirts. And I thought to myself, “This is my life now. Spending money on socks."
Benedict Cumberbatch, excerpt from Neigh magazine (via galifianafuck)
"[Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice is] so sepulchrally resonant that it could have been synthesised from the combined timbres of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Alan Rickman holding an elocution contest down a well."
Jonathan Romney of The Independent (via ghagiel)
