About me
I enjoy creating exciting illustration, illustration that excites people. I'm excited by places, and colour (colourful places get twice the excitement). I take a clean, fresh, graphic view on the world, adding pop, fuelling emotions and bringing smiles.
I am a highly experienced illustrator, renowned for a positive, creative outlook and a solid understanding of commercial design, the visual arts and successful business. I love it. I relish diversity and welcome all opportunities; large or small, print or digital, editorial, advertising, publishing, interiors, fashion, surface patterns, murals and any other world beyond.
I work in 2 different illustration styles, check out everything I do on ben-obrien.com.
