About me

I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Folkestone. Drawing from my love of music, film, TV, and art history, I make work that celebrates the intersections of nostalgia, creativity, and craft.

Specialising in illustration and sculpture, I’m known for his playful re-imaginings of cultural icons. I enjoy collaboration and have worked with a wide range of clients, from Teletubbies to Alfred A. Knopf.

My work has been exhibited globally and has earned recognition for its mischievous blend of fine art and pop culture.

I have created a number of books exploring niche corners of popular culture including The Bootleg Bible; a guide to bootleg toymakers and imagined matter.

Testimonials

Ben’s talent speaks for itself, he helped me figure out what I wanted and needed through careful collaboration drawing out the brief together, and then delivered with speed and accuracy. Refining together and speedy feedback implemented, myself and team couldn't be happier with the outcome, and 12 months on, we still endlessly get complements on our assets.

Got the figure today and it looks INCREDIBLE! Thank you again for everything.
