Ben and his craft

“Writing is at the bottom [of the creative platform].”

- Joe Pytka

Mr. Pytka is a legend, and, in terms of visual appeal, he is absolutely right. Writing is unequivocally the least attractive art form. It is as under appreciated as it is timeless. That is why I love words. Because words occupy such an immense creative spectrum. Stories are formed and passed down, emotion is shared, and connections are strengthened through the power of words. Storytelling is so unique and culturally significant. There are few things that can hold an audience in a time and place like captivating copy. Words are dynamic. They can make people salivate in anticipation. They can evoke powerful emotions like love and courage and inspire extraordinary action. This is my calling. To speak to the truth and cause a genuine reaction. In all of human chronology, a universal validity prevails - the best stories, and the best ideas, are the simplest. In everything I write I aim to keep the message simple. I work meticulously to create the most interesting thing I can with this beautiful artistic bottom dweller.
