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.

yes, very nice!
angry hänsel is dear to my heart!
I second that! I took a good look to admire them, proceeded to close out the window, and just had to scroll back to look at them again!
wow these are amazing!m are those actually post-its? great lines, colors, sketches, design, everything!
Fantastic work!
These guys are pretty cute! I have the feeling they are going to get in some serious trouble. Nice work man.
Beautiful work!!!
Jeez these are so good! I LOVE the little Gretels!!!! especially the one on the left.
excellent! i love the ears and mouth on the hansel in the upper left. lower left gretel is very charming. i love the stray hairs and the braids. wonderful work!
So perfect.
These are just excellent!
these are awesome! so inspiring :)
aww!! that little gretel on the bottom right is too adorable. i love the hairstyles!
was this just a personal doodle page?
GAW-geous. Love the plaits of Gretel.
Hey Mr B...Will you be at Comicon this year? I'm heading to the states and will be at the Con on Sunday and would very much like to shake your hand and try to absorb some of your talent. (and buy a copy of Seaweed without the shipping fee!)
Thanks everyone,
joonasjoonas- Yah, they're on post-its, but the larger size.
Tapan- Yep, just personal.
Azzamckazza- I'm not sure I'll be at Comic Con. I don't have a booth, but Stuart Ng and Bud Plant will have signed copies of Seaweed on hand to buy at the very least.
What I love is I can NOT for the life of me see these kids speaking in anything but a thick accent. A North-Americanized voice wouldn't suit'em I think. Awesome stuff.
Cute and creepy, i love them !
Perfect ... especially the first Hansel top-left and the last Gretel of the lower right
Awesome as usual dude!!!
I love Hansel's huge head of blonde hair and his upturned nose. He looks a just slightly demented. It's an awesome page of character drawings!
So good! I would love to watch a cartoon with these two!
All great stuff Ben, and these characters are definitely something else!!
