About Me
- Name: benton jew
- Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
Professional illustrator/storyboard artist/comic artist living in Los Angeles, CA. Always had an interest in drawing and film since childhood. Drew my own comics and made little animated super-8 films with my twin brother growing up in Sacramento, CA. Went to The Academy of Art/USF in San Francisco. Started working at George Lucas' visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic around 1988, right out of school. Stayed there for 13 years, doing art for feature films and commercials including Ghostbusters 2, The Mask, The Phantom Menace, Men In Black, The Mummy. Left the Bay area for greener pastures and headed for Los Angeles on that fateful day of 9-11, dragging my girlfriend with me. After becoming a freelancer, I worked on Terminator 3, Day After Tomorrow, Chronicles of Riddick, Bolden, Rush Hour 3, The Incredible Hulk. Side projects: Put together a self-published comics anthology in 2004 called "Babes In Space" Did an award winning short horror film called "The Collector" in 2000, that played at several film festivals.

Okay...I guess you reached deep down and created these pages to shut me up..or maybe not...
I will say this you rat bastard.
That's the BEST Stuff I Have Seen from an American Artist that is Not Jaime Hernandez..
Christ dude... that is some serious craftsmanship... I am Mr.Critical and All I could criticise was the sixe of the brickwork in two panels...
Aside from that photograph that I still never want to see again, I have to say, as a Tothiite..
You are good....fukkin good...
Better than ANYONE I've seen in the last 20 years that I know of...
You are ON..! You didn't fall for that late 90's Spiderman/Spawn crap nonsense....You are On the Ball brother....
Consider me your number one fan and your number one competition..because I think I may be a little bit better than you... That means we are both better than everyone else...
Stay true...
