Benjamin Phillips

I’ve writ­ten before on this blog about how much I enjoy see­ing cre­ative peo­ple take on a myr­i­ad of projects. I like see­ing peo­ple work their visu­al lan­guage into a vari­ety of inter­est­ing projects. Ben­jamin Phillips falls in this camp. He’s par­tic­i­pat­ed in gallery shows and pro­duced zines, sculp­ture, edi­to­r­i­al illus­tra­tions, and more.

I first saw his work on Mal­lo­ry’s Tum­blr, The Zoo Keep­er. You see, Ben­jamin also does pet por­traits, and he will paint your pet, too. While it’s first lead me to his work, I also observed Ben­jam­in’s fas­ci­na­tion with sil­hou­ettes. They are a chance for him to give 3D objects an alter ego by imag­in­ing their crazy shadows.
