Ben Balistreri Dreamworks Character Designer

BEN BALISTRERI  is an Emmy Award winning designer for his work on “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends”.  He’s been nominated for 6 Annie awards for his character designs and storyboards on shows like “Foster’s”, “Danny Phantom”, and “Crash Nebula”.  He’s currently working at DreamWorks as a storyboard artist.

I’ll be selling my full color 64 page hardcover graphic novel:  “Seaweed and the Cure for Mildew”.  The book is an oversized giant measuring a whooping 12 x 15 inches and will be the perfect and unique gift for the holiday season.  The book is the first of a two part story telling the tale of Seaweed, a pelican who sets out on a journey to find a cure for death in a book rumored to be written by the Devil.  A sketchbook is included in the back of the book that includes the making of art, inking tips, and unused character designs.
