Benjamin Tour (present)


Benjamin Tour, a Vancouver-based painter and illustrator, is most well known for translating human behavior into beautifully crafted portraits. In 1999, he received a degree in illustration at Sheridan College. Tour begins his works of art with a ballpoint pen, sketching out each figure. He then goes back over it with paints, inks, and "spray bombs" to finalize his pieces. Tour's work can be seen all over New York, California, and many other places. He has also won the Western Magazine Award's Illustration of the Year award.
