Writers’ assistant Dave Bena<\/b> created the police sketch used in the latest episode of CSI: Miami<\/i>, “See No Evil”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nIn the episode, Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo<\/b>) sat with forensic artist April Carrigan (Keelin Woodell<\/b>) to create a sketch of their suspect based on Ryan’s description. Behind the scenes, Bena studied real forensic sketches to get a feel for what he had to draw. “Bobby Good<\/b> in props gave me reference books and then I worked off that,” Bena explained in the CSI: Miami<\/i> blog on CBS.com. The final sketch couldn’t be too perfect. Instead, it had to look like “something that somebody described. You didn’t want it to look like a photograph.”<\/p>\n

\nBena normally takes notes and types outlines for the Miami<\/i> writing staff, and he co-wrote last season’s “Meltdown”<\/a>. However, this isn’t the first time Bena’s art has been featured onscreen. He designed the Russian mafia tattoos used in “Raging Cannibal”<\/a> during season seven, and he also created the comic book pages featured in season eight’s “Mommie Deadest”<\/a>. This year’s season premiere, “Fallen”<\/a>, included Mayan hieroglyphics written in invisible ink—more of Bena’s handiwork.<\/p>\n

\nCreating art for Miami<\/i> is different than co-writing an episode, but Bena enjoys both. “It’s cool to see your work up there,” he said. “I do like it. It exercises a different part of my brain. It’s still creative, but it’s a departure from writing.”
