I've been camera happy since elementary school. I kick myself when I miss "the shot" and always have a charged phone. I aim to capture little moments that make our everyday a bit more colorful, hilarious, or magical.

Ben "Benerator" Nunez

"Scrappers" custom prototype

Sculpture

Big - 5 x 5 x 2.5 in. Small - 3.5 x 3.75 x 1.5 in.

Artist Bio

My name is Ben Nunez (known in some circles as "Benerator"), and I'm an illustrator and graphic artist. I've been working in the casino gaming industry for many years, helping to design and produce artwork for slot machines available worldwide.

I'm a Marwen alumni, having taken classes during my high school years in the late 80's, right around the time of the organization's inception. I'm also the proud parent of a Marwen student, and I'm happy that the opportunities available to my kids have grown considerably compared to when I participated.

I'm neurodivergent, and one of my special interests is robots; I draw them all the time, and have amassed a sizable collection of robot toys over the years. I'm currently invested in developing a line of 3D-printed robot art toys based on my own designs.
