Ben was born in Belfast and now lives in Ballyclare. As an autistic artist, his work draws heavily from the worlds of film, television and video games — the stories and characters that have inspired him throughout his life.Working primarily in digital illustration, Ben enjoys reimagining iconic characters through his own creative lens, often blending detailed line work with playful stylised design. His pieces capture both nostalgia and personality, celebrating the characters and worlds that have shaped popular culture.

 

For Ben, the most rewarding part of creating art is bringing ideas from his imagination into something real — transforming the images in his mind into artwork others can experience and enjoy.

 

Through his work with BASE, Ben continues to develop his artistic style while sharing his creativity with a wider audience.
