Ben Tolman

Ben Tolman grew up in a family of what he calls “super-hard-core” Mormons in Rockville. He spent his childhood in a decidedly non-Mormon way: doodling demons, ghouls, and a grab bag of creepy-crawlies in his many sketchbooks. “That was my thing when I was a kid, drawing monsters,” says Tolman, “Me and my friend Bobby, that’s all we did. I’d go over to his house after school every single day, and we’d just sit there and draw monsters.”

Ben Tolman is one of 50 Artists featured in our second publication entitled Metamorphosis 2.
