Ben Brown was born with super thermo x-ray vision which, naturally enough, lead to an obsessive relationship with skulls & bones. He has worked for a mixed variety of clients for over twenty years. His commissions range across publishing, clothing apparel and the music industry. He has designed an extensive range of music posters for performers like Silverchair, nirvana, fat boy slim, Frenzal rhomb and the hoodoo gurus, as well as events including the Big Day Out, Good Vibrations Festival, Homebake, the falls festival and others. He contributes a regular comic strip to notorious surfing publication ‘stab’, and provides illustration for many other titles. Ben also creates graphics to cover all manner of clothing for clients like Insight, Mambo, Globe, O’Neill, Rip Curl, Ocean & Earth, Nice produce and Supply.

Previous volumes have included work from graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, tattoo artists, textile artists, painters, street artists and sculptors. The open submission format welcomes submissions from anyone.

Volume 3 will include over 200 submissions from 80 artists.

Gallery Open Monday-Friday 9-5. Saturdays 12-3

60 pieces of work fresh out the container! Saffron’s show on Friday is taking shape.

Entries for the clothespeg project close on the 24th July. The only restriction is the art must be a5. Go get em.
