Biography

Hey I’m Ben I’m 21, grew up in Calgary Alberta Canada I was pretty much raised by visual mediums, movies, tv shows, video games, and comics as well as doodling on anything I could since before I can remember. The moving art of storytelling has always been a pillar in my life and has become apart of who I am, and who I would like to become.
