Ben's Art Bin

I'm a British student living in Spain, I love 80's Goth rock, most other forms of rock too, I wear strange clothes and have a weird sense of humour.
I make art, here is some of it

Ask me things and make my day 

My Art Rant


Recently I’ve been applying to art foundation courses and it’s been giving me more of an idea of what the art world is like outside of my little island bubble. I have to say I find it a little disturbing. It seems nowadays all art has to “mean” something, and I feel like people are starting out with an issue and trying to mould their ideas around it rather than making art for the love of it. It is actually looked down on to produce art because you see it in your head or because you just feel like drawing something. I just think that art now has become so esoteric and forced that people can’t relate to it anymore, but hey that’s probably why I’m an illustrator, what do I know?

modernwolves asked: Your hitcher costume thingy is so cool!
