Benjamin Gitchell Art
About me...
I am a graduate from Northern Michigan University with a BFA in sculpture, metal smithing and illustration. With my work, I combine the 2d with the 3d by illustrating an image and then taking elements from that 2d work and creating it physically, whether that be bronze casting, sheet metal fabricating, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc... My favorite artists are Walt Peregoy, Frank Frazetta, and Mike Mignola. When I am not making something, I am making something.

I graduated from Northern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, focusing on sculpture, metal smithing, and illustration. Throughout my academic career at NMU, I have achieved awards including an academic scholarship from the Art and Design department and several first prizes and honorary mentions from galleries both within and outside the school, including winning gold in the winter 2025 Senior Exhibition for my work titled, "The Flat Caps". During my education, I have become proficient in skills such as silicone mold making, RTV mold making, foundry casting, centrifugal casting, blacksmithing, woodworking, soldering, drawing and sketching, digital painting, and familiarity with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Clip Studio Paint.
