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.

Ben these are unreal. I can't wait to see some of the boards you've done for Dragons.
Hope everything is good.
Incredible work. Out of interest, for these boards, how much time do you have? They're so clean AND to model. Each panel is an illustration on its own. Beautiful.
Awesome work!!!
I absolutely LOVE Fosters! Great work :)
Hey Ben! It was awesome meeting you at WonderCon. These boards are great...I've been wanting to get into storyboards lately and it's nice to see an example from a show I love. Thanks!
wow! I'm surprised how accurate the characters are drawn and how clean it is. nice!
wonderful. it was very nice to meet you last weekend!
Inspiring! Great work Ben.
Good boards!
Neat!! I love this show.
I wonder if this artwork is entirely digital or a mix of pencil, ink and some digital touches.
In any case it's great artwork in its own right.
Wow..
great job!!
congratulations!!
I liked!!
Thanks All!!
Galvinator- For these (Again this is only a small portion of the entire board I turned in) I got 3 weeks to do roughly 21 minuets of screen time.
Joan- These were all drawn digitally using Sketchbook Pro.
WOW great blog you have, Congrats!
Regards!
