Hi! I'm currently a storyboard artist and character designer at Disney TV working on Wander Over Yonder! I just finished a 6 year run as a story artist at DreamWorks were I boarded on How To Train Your Dragon among other movies. I'm an Emmy Award winner for my character designs on "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends". I've worked as a storyboard artist and character designer at Nickelodeon on Danny Phantom, and a character designer at Disney TV for too many projects to list. I've been nominated for 7 Annie Awards and have recently self published my first graphic novel: "Seaweed, and the Cure for Mildew." All work is is a copyright of me unless it's for some studio I'm working for.

Goin' back to Cali??
I DON'T THINK SO!!!
WOW!!! What a blog... Great, great art work here! I'm really jazzed about it. Yeah... I said "jazzed". Doesn't happen often, but I think it's totally justified here.
Those pages you posted are AMAZING. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Keep posting that great stuff.

Welcome back Ben! Keep it fo' real West Coast!
great image! love the design
good to see ya! When are we having this "lunch"?
AWESOME COOL Character!
welcome back.
it would be best and safer if you posted an image of your email address, not the actual address. spam people crawl the internet for that kind of gold.
anywho, really sweet sketch. it looks like it's cleaned up pretty clean but still hand some nice hand feeling in it. was this done on a cintiq/wacom in photoshop, or just done in illustrator?
again, really sweet sketch.
Thanks for the advice katzenjammer studios. I took your advice and just took it off.
I drew this on my Cintiq using sketchbook Pro.
man, I love this drawing! very cool design.
What an amazing artist you are. Very, VERY inspiring!
Thanks for posting your work here.

Ha! Terrific drawing Ben . Welcome home =)
Cool beans! I like your blog and I was wondering how you got to work at Cartoon Network and Nick? Also I was wondering if you are going to Platform Animation Festival in Oregon. Sorry for being nosy but it seems you have your stuff down and get back to work! Just playing, welcome back.
Ah we don't want your kind around here...
Let's get some beer. Give a call.
