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.

Creative consultations + tutoring

I have over a decade of experience in creating and selling artwork, self publishing, hosting exhibitions, and running an arts business. I’d love to share my knowledge with aspiring creatives.

Reach out via hi@bengore.co.uk if you’d like to talk about how I can help you make, publish, sell and exhibit your art.

We’ll begin with a complementary 15 minute meeting and then sessions are charged £50 per hour or £80 for 2 hours. Longer periods can be discussed if needed.
