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.

love the colors
You designed these logos too? Wow. Nice work! I can count on your blog for inspiration. Thanks!
Very nice Ben, the colors and design is just amazing. I was thinking... Why don't you post a "how to" on how to sell a project to a television network, Nickelodeon for example. A kind of step by step, when you have some time, of course.
Hey Tancredo,
I would love to do a step by step of how to sell a show, but I've never done it! Crash was a show developed and sold by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel. I just got a lucky break and got to work on the design style, (along with Steven Silver) once the idea was greenlit. I've never really pitched a show but once my comic "Seaweed" gets done I might try shopping it around. Thanks for the kind words, though.
Just amazing. I don´t know what to say. I would like to know if you have any inspirational stuff for those pictures. I´m knocked out.

hey ben. I remember seeing this stuff when you brought your portfolio to Eddie's class...still in awe of them now, as i was back then.
Hey, man. Will Crash be produced? It looks like it would make a pretty cool cartoon series.
Jeepers, nope. It only got made into a pilot episode bu didn't focus test well. Therefore no series. How sad.
Fabulous work !
