| Who, What, How |
|
|
| My name is Martin Wickstrom and I have been illustrating for books, magazines, |
| advertising, web and more since 2003. Originally from Sweden, I currently live |
| in Connecticut, USA, with my wife and dog. |
| |
| In 2008 I expanded my creative services to target the art licensing markets, offering |
| my work to manufacturers in a wide range of fields. This new style and direction |
| was launched under the alias Benjamin Bay. |
| |
| In my work I like to use the human body and face to communicate ideas. The style is |
| retro and decorative, often with a worn, textured look. I find great inspiration |
| in mid-century collectibles and art, as well as other contemporary illustrators. |

| In Sweden I have had the pleasure to work with Saab, Miljökontoren |
| and Frälsningsarmén. |
