Benjamin Otzen
My passion for illustration and character design has existed for as long as I can remember, but it seriously gained momentum, when I was 10 years old and attended my very first cartoon class at the comic festival in Bergen, Norway. There, I met my greatest idol of that time, John Buscema, the illustrator of ''Conan'', my favorite cartoon. He wrote his autograph on one of my drawings along with the remark: ''May my skills become yours'', inspiring me to develop my talent.
