Ben Oliver

Ben Oliver is an illustrator about whom I could find very little biographical data online. I gathered that he's British and his first professional work came out in 2000. I checked out his Facebook & Blog, Wikipedia, Instagram, ArtStation. Nada.

Nada on the Bio front, but plenty of uploads of his art everywhere on the web: Facebook, Blogspot, ArtStation, Instagram, Pinterest.

I like the realism of his art. It reminds me of the classical portraits hanging on the walls of Laughner's, a restaurant from my childhood (though, I must confess, most of those paintings were a little creepy).

I think comic books are my art museum. Sometimes I just peruse the covers and internal artwork for the art and not the words of the story (blasphemy for an English major, I realize.)

Below is a small selection of his work for your enjoyment.
