Flamenco guitar Los Angeles Seattle Ben Woods Flamenco-Metal

I started illustrating around 19 years old, while working at Indian Arts and Crafts in Seattle, WA learning from master illustrator William Cunningham.  From him I was lucky to learn wildlife illustration, native american totemic formline and carving, darkroom skills, screen print color separation by hand, and many old art techniques rarely used anymore today.  I was also very interested in tattoo art and learned much from my other art mentor Christopher Westbrook.  Later I taught myself computer art and moved to California, designing and separating LP, T-shirt and Flier Art for some of the music industries top artists.  Here are some examples of my work.
