Ben Templesmith



A somewhat mad Aussie artist known for his eerie, vivid style, dark humour and using a mixture of digital and traditional media in most of his work.

His first commercial work was on a Spawn spin off, but the comic that really elevated him into the limelight was Thirty Days of Night with Steve Niles. Since then he has illustrated a large amount of comics for IDW Publishing such as a Dead Space prequel comic and issues of Doctor Who and G.I. Joe, IDW also publish Templesmith’s own comics such as Welcome to Hoxford, about a Heroic Sociopath who ends up in a extreme security prison that is actually a front for a pack of Werewolves and Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse, his ongoing series about a cadaver possessing, beer loving, demon worm and his gaggle of weird acquaintances.
