Ben Russel's portfolio contains a wide range of work, from realistic portraits, to full colored compositions of tattooed pin-ups and expressionistic oil paintings. He is also a huge fan of comics and movies, especially the horror genre.
He shares a bit of his very inspirational story with us, from hitting rock bottom to rising up and finding himself not only as an artist, but as a self-help advocate who promotes personal freedom through creativity and passion.
If you happen to be at WonderCon 2018, please go visit him in Artists Alley DL-17. This will be his 50th con appearance...so go show him some love.
This conversation with Ben Russel took place at Los Angeles Comic Con 2017.
