About Ben

I’m Ben.

You know how most people get nostalgic from particular smells? Well, I get largely nostalgic from SNES RPG music (most specifically the Final Fantasy series).

Now for some FAQ!

Q: What do you use to draw?

A: Generally, I use my Wacom Graphire 3 (yes, it’s old) in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I particularly like the Stumpy Pencil Brush tool set.

Sometimes, I use ink and watercolor.

Q: Do you sell anything?

A: I do indeed! For original art, prints, and greeting cards, you can visit my bigcartel shop.

Q: Are you taking commissions?

A: You’re in luck, I am indeed at this moment taking commissions. You can find out the pricing here. Contact me via e-mail if you’re interested.

Q: Did you go to school for Illustration/Art?

A: Yep. I got a Bachelor’s degree in “Visual Arts and New Media” but it was an Illustration/Animation program.

Q: Will you link to/follow my blog/site/etc?

A: I have a personal tumblr for all of my followings and such, so I might follow you on there. 

Q: Can I use a drawing of yours for a tattoo?

A: Well, it would be rather difficult to stop you, plus, it’s super flattering, so go right ahead. I just hope you find a tattoo artist that can do a good job with it.

And all I ask is that you let me know and send me photos! I love seeing that stuff.

Q: Do you work anywhere doing illustration?

A: I do some contract work, but nothing full-time.
