Vol. 4: Mental Ben
Mental Ben, a.k.a Ben Brown
Ben Brown's roots run deep in the vibrant coastal town of Manly, where he witnessed the flourishing scenes of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Immersed in the thriving surf, skate, and punk rock culture of his upbringing, Ben's artistic journey is a fusion of these influences.
Ben's work is known for its vivid colours and bold designs, which exude energy and liveliness. While it can occasionally push boundaries and challenge norms with its confrontational nature, the overall vibe remains playful and enjoyable. A legend in the dynamic illustration universe, Ben Brown's exceptional portfolio has significantly influenced surf, skate, snow, music, and film scenes on a global scale.
With over thirty years of experience, his evolution as an artist mirrors his enduring love for music. Having been part of the local music scene, Ben holds a profound admiration for fellow passionate artists who continue to make a mark in their own unique style.
