Visual Art

Ian Benke — publishing under I.B. — is a writer, visual artist, and enjoys origami and papercraft. Combining his writing and artwork, he is the author of Future Fables and Strange Stories, Flowers: The Art of Rocky Mountain Cannabis, and contributed, designed, and edited Pulp Kings 1-7. He also ghostwrote a series of werewolf romance novels...but no one is supposed to know that. Inspired by Mega Man, John Steinbeck, and TV commercials, I.B.’s writing and art explore the growing bond between technology and culture, imagining where it will lead and the people it will shape.
