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.

VERY cool!--Congrats again, Benton!!!
Does this mean possibly regular ongoing assignments for awhile from Marvel?
Very nice work Benton! The characters look great. Congrats!!!
Fantastic! Congratulations. The work is very impressive and you've definitely earned the work with Marvel.
crazy-Hopefully I'll get more assignments. I'm hoping people respond well to the "Hulk Family" book and this digital comic. Would love to try my hand at a cover or two as well. We'll see...
Roberto-Thanks, Roberto!
Peter- Thanks for coming by!
