About Me

As an only child and a temperamental redhead, my mother often found the best way to deal with me was to sit me down with a big piece of paper and some crayons. That and a steady diet of Calvin and Hobbes, MAD Magazine and bootlegged Cartoon Network tapes sparked in me a life long passion for cartoons and drawing that consumes my waking hours to this day!

In storyboarding I found the perfect marriage of film obsession, animation, writing, drawing and directing. I'm always working on perfecting my craft, seeking out new information and developing new projects.

"Ben is fantastic to work with - super communicative, professional and he adds his own creative flair to all his commissions. Highly recommended!"
~ Alice Austin, Editor of Nofilterzine

"Ben interpreted our requirements with ease, offered interesting and unique solutions when required and created a final design that was not only delivered on time, but one that truly exceeded our expectations. It is rare to find someone with a unique but adaptable style and we would recommend Ben to anyone that requires an original drawing or illustration."
