25.01.2022 First sketch in ages! I’m happy to be drawing after a bit of a hiatus. Out of practice, but liking how this one turned out @ Elsternwick, Victoria, Australia

25.01.2022 Last nights sketch session with @ahh_na was over video chat. We played a music playlist in sync and referenced the same source image. Fun sketch time. I suggest you try it. @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

24.01.2022 I went to Off the Kerb Gallery with Charizma Laughton and took some model//artwork photos It was great fun, and fantastic to see the whole show again

22.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came and saw my illustration at Off the Kerb Gallery‘s Winter Days show If you’ve still not seen it, I highly recommend you do (not just because one of my pieces is in it) It’s on till the 27th - the gallery is open Thurs to Sun.

21.01.2022 This one’s from a sketch season a couple of months ago. For some reason I struggled to get this one looking good. I didn’t love it at the time but it’s grown on me.

20.01.2022 A still life sketch from about a month ago. I later digitally coloured it.

19.01.2022 I met Alex Garant Art at her show at Beinart Gallery the other week. I highly recommend you go and see these paintings in person (show closes March 3). I got a signed and personalised limited edition art print .... . . #exhibition #alexgarant #3AMrococo #beinart #paintings #paint #painting #realistic #glitch #eyes #realism #oilpaint #print #signed #oils #artshow #soloshow #garant #gallery #art #artist

18.01.2022 A3 and A4 prints available! (contact me). I was up till 3ish last night finishing off this illustration then woke up early, excited to get prints made !! Thanks for all the comments and support, this is the first of many works from my new studio.

16.01.2022 Sketch session with @ahh_na . Like last time, we used a reference image on screen, put on the same music and sketched over video chat. I’m happy with this (2 hour) sketch. The reference photo did look 40% less like Rami Malek though.

13.01.2022 While listening to podcasts n interviews, I like to sketch. Today, I started by doing a quick search for reference then got drawing. It’s a good way to get practice and I always learn from copying something more complex than what I can draw without reference. P.S. hi... #draw #sketchbook #hands #reference #warmup #poses #pencil #watercolour #gosketch

12.01.2022 [ ‘Digital Nostalgia: Volume_Up.mp3’ (details) // Benk // 2019 // Pencil, Digitally Coloured ] Here are some close ups of my new illustration. I’ll be posting a progress video and then the full illustration soon, but if you want to see the full illustration now, you can head over to my website or trick me into inviting you to my house then run into my kitchen and you’ll see it there.

11.01.2022 This Friday: I have a work in the group show at Off the Kerb Gallery opening Fri 14 June, 6 - 9pm Looks like it’s going to be an amazing show. See you there? [ Artwork in image 1 by Ryan Pola // Artwork in image 2 by Liz Gridley - Artist ]

10.01.2022 In self isolation times, this series of illustrations I made back in 2014 seems more relevant than ever. The series looks at the ways that technology has impacted the way we communicate. I focused on positive and negative aspects of the shift towards digital communication, from video-chat celebrations to text message miscommunications.... With the current lack of in-person socialising due to COVID19, I feel more closely connected to these works than when I made them 6 years ago.

10.01.2022 :: New :: Watch me digitally paint this illustration in only 6.5 minutes (in real time it was 5.5 hours, so that'll make you some sort of time traveller) !

08.01.2022 Work in progress This is from my first day working in my new studio!

04.01.2022 Who needs sleep?! Ok, I do. But I’ve had a power nap and I’m giving this night my all. #artist #nightlife #artistlife #photography #productphotography #nosleep #clownsgonnaeatme #nightshift

03.01.2022 Last weekend I went camping at a little festival with music workshops. I took a photo of this dance and used it as reference. [ Benk, 2018, Pencil & Watercolour ] #illustration #sketch #sketchbook #dance #nature @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

02.01.2022 The second work in this new series is done! I didn’t want to say it was ‘finished’ until it felt right, after a lot of finalising micro edits here and there, it feels right to me! . ... . . . #nature #leaves #portrait #glitch #illustration #drawings #illustrations #handdrawn #drawing #watercolour #painting #drawn #paint #watercolor #draw #illustrate #art #artist #design #paper #pencil #graphic #hair #hands #eyes #tree #melbourneart #australianartist See more
