Regarding Ben’s work, the judges said,

This cartoonist fires away.

We were impressed by his clear, strong voice and by illustrations that were well-crafted and layered.

You move through each panel, as the point gets driven home. The artist isn’t content to just get a quick laugh. This was the strongest entry in a strong field.

His submission portfolio is online for viewing.

  1. Sargent has one of the most distinctive styles around. He has great visual ideas and a real acidic sense of humor.
