Here's a rough drawing for a promotional piece for the Danny Phantom special "Reign Storm". I'm not sure if it ever got used for anything.

Here's a rough drawing for a promotional piece for the Danny Phantom special "Reign Storm". I'm not sure if it ever got used for anything.
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.

Hey Ben! Really awesome stuff! I remember seeing your website awhile back. Glad you got a blog! Do you mind if I link to your site?
Amazing stuff Ben! Mind if I link to your site as well?
Please, please...link away! No need to be formal. We're all friends! Heathmc, to answer your other question, I do all my inking for my comic by hand. I'm not a big fan of illustrator clean up although I have been surprised from time to time. I recently bought a Cintiq 21UX and I've been experimenting with the ability to do a clean line that way, but I still like the satisfaction that only physical materials can bring. Plus then I've got some original comic pages that my mom can hang on her wall.
Mom's and Art of Ben Balistreri Books love to see original comic pages. Yeah, you're right there's just something about having those orginals. Keep on hooten!
Crazy cool stuff, Ben. Really glad to see you jumped on the blog wagon.
Looking forward to more posts!
Sweet piece man! And those 21 inch Cintiq's ROCK! I got one too, soooo nice!... Clean lines, go to 200% zoom, anything lower and you run the risk of "jiggly" lines, but at 200% everything is clean as a whistle...
and yes, physical materials are still better I think! When I am stuck on a drawing, I always switch to pen and paper...
Another brilliantly designed villain... I bow in your presence.
