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,
Your one of my biggest inspirations as an artist, if not the biggest. I love your style and characters, and I can't wait till your book is ready for purchase, so I can try and get one.
I love this yeti so much, so awesome. Great flow.

One person should not be allowed to hold so much talent. I hate you, but in the nicest, most envious way possible.
