Five years on and giants are still massive!
Ben Javens
Ben left the beloved Yorkshire town he grew up in and moved to the heart of England where he graduated with a degree in Fine Art from the University of Central England in 1997. After wandering for several years in the wilderness that is life after graduation he found his true calling as an illustrator and hasn't looked back since.
Ben's work is colourful, fun and displays an aesthetic that reflects his love of mid century illustration and design by artists such as Paul Rand, Daphne Padden and Alain Gree.
He has worked for clients such as Warburtons, 8th Continent, Hugo Boss, The Guardian, Timeout Magazine and is a proud member of the UNSEEN agency family.

Brush Pen
I started using my brush pen about 2 years ago and it’s been the foundation for pretty much all of my work since. I don’t think I could be without it now and dread the thought that one day I may not be able to get ink for it. As a precaution to that apocalyptic day I’ve started stock piling ink cartridges and also have a spare pen for back up...I may need a back up for my back up.
