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 2, 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.

With a anme like "Benton Jew", it makes ya wonder.
Jamie-I think he's related to Buddy Love.
BKO-Yeah! Wait'll you see my SPAWN drawing ( joke! )
Steve- Been a Chinese "Jew" all my life and despite being an atheist, I plan on naming my firstborn son
Christian ( kidding! ) Seriously, "Jew" is a Chinese
name. It's the same as "Chow", "Chao", "Chew", "Zhou".
Someone at Angel Island had a warped sense of humor.
You would not believe how many times I get this question!
Chritsian Jew? Oh, that is funny as heck. You must procreate immediately and make that happen. Heh heh
