The agency wanted visiting clients relaxed and open before the big pitch. I lettered the copywriter's own lines across the reception wall in a few days. It won a Creative Review Illustration Annual award.

Gives us some of that Ben Weeks magic!!Barry Quinn, Executive Creative Director

Unitron needed a reason for audiologists to stop at its booth. Visitors wrote a favourite sound on a card and I drew each one into the wall during the show. The art became Unitron's global holiday campaign and now hangs in its Kitchener lab.

It really draws visitors' attention.John Whitmore, Unitron

DIALOG wanted a 33-foot lobby wall that shows every discipline in the firm. I built it from staff ideas, with small details that reward people who linger. Staff and suppliers loved it.

Cumbrae's wanted customers to see where their meat comes from. I drew a map of Ontario's supplying farms, colour-coded by beef, lamb, pork and poultry. It's still on the wall ten years later.

Thanks...for your great art work.Stephen Alexander, Owner

The Metcalf Foundation wanted to honour every intern its theatre program has supported. I fitted 270 hand-lettered names to one spread and drew a network map inspired by Vignelli's subway map. The client asked to hang the original board in its boardroom.

[The clients] ... really LOVE your illustrations too!Brian Banton, The Office of Gilbert Li

Algonquin College wanted its viewbook cover to capture what students dream about. I drew course names, campus towns and student life on a studio greenboard as the backdrop for the shoot.

Ben was also an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.Andrea Gibson, Art Director
