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.

Also good luck at the anni's (you're probably sitting there with sweaty palms right now!).

Nice as always. I love the facial expression of the giraffe at the bottom with his tongue sticking out. Lol

I love the wall-eyed one on the far left. hilarious looking.
Ben, these are amazing!!! I love the different characters. The one with the tongue made me laugh out loud ^^.

Dude, Ben I have always loved these drawings so much. That is how its done folks.
Giraffes are always such amazingly silly creatures to draw- I love the way you've captured them! And, I dig the abstract pattern on the giraffe on the left. Cool.
Any plans to go to WonderCon this weekend? If you do swing by, please stop by the Small Press section for a visit. I'll have a table with Kyle Neswald and Joe Olivares- just look for the banner with the BIG HAND. Hope to see you there!
Hi Ben! Nice giraffes! I really like the one which is sticking its tongue out. I forgot that they have a blue tongue. And that they always seem to wear mascara. Anyway, I think they are REALLY beautiful.
fantabulous stuff as always.....
would love to see what you did for the PBS gig too
