About Ben Jeapes

Well, maybe the photo isn’t that representative nowadays. So you’ll just have to take my word…

A brief biography is available, as is a prehistory of the Jeapes family as far as he knows it. Alternatively, admire the cutey he once was. If you really have the time and inclination, there’s a link to his blog at the top of this page. Otherwise …

  • Nationality: British
  • Age: 21 + VAT
  • Height: 6’5″

  • Clean shaven
  • Eyes: Brown, Glasses
  • Married

I once met someone at a Con who pictured me as short, dark haired and bearded. Don’t ask me why, except that perhaps it’s because you get a lot of short, dark(ish/greying) haired and bearded people at Cons. You tend to meet their bellies before anything else.
