]]> Benjamin Flouw is a multi-talented creative personality who works as an illustrator and art director and writes children books in his spare time. How does he do it all?

He swears by a tiny but clear workspace. “My workspace is actually a very tiny room in my house in Marseille. It used to be some kind of closet and I revamped it entirely so it could fit a computer, room to draw, a library and some storage. I wanted it to look like a blank page so there’s almost nothing on the walls and everything is white paint or plain wood. It is also very important that there are plants and books everywhere,” wrote Benjamin.

You can check out his work below.

🇬🇧 I moved to Marseille a year and a half ago. It's a city where antagonisms meet. The crappy and the glossy. The ancient and the new. Nature and pollution. Calm, anger and…anchovy pizza's. I don't like anchovy's but I make one promise ladies and gentlemen : in 2019 I'm going to try the anchovy pizza !🐟 ⠀ -⠀ 🇨🇵 J'ai emménagé à Marseille il y a un an et demi. Ici, les antagonismes se rencontrent. Le pourri et le clinquant. L'ancien et le neuf. Nature et pollution.Calme, colère et … la pizza aux anchois. Je n'aime pas la pizza aux anchois mais je peux vous promettre une chose mesdames et messieurs : en 2019 j'essaierais la pizza aux anchois !🐟 ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #gastronomie #pizza #seagull #anchovy #Marseille #madeinfrance #illustration #printisnotdead #artwork

Quick composition with rock texture. ⠀ ⠀ For years I didn't want to show the HOW : how my illustrations are done, where do I work, what do I look like, how do I find new ideas. Because I thought nobody cares. ⠀ But recently I got asked a lot about the HOW, so here's a bit of it : I get messy. I do whatever I want, not thinking about what I think are the expectations of others regarding my art.⠀ ⠀ Honestly I do not care if this gets 10 likes or a thousand, I just wanted to show you. But I do ask my self one question : Do you guys want to see more about how I work ? ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #pattern #patterndesign #texture #rocks #creativeprocess #digitalart #artistsoninstagram #instaartwork #drawdrawdraw #illustratorsoninstagram

I really have this inclination for animals who looks like they have been painted. I mean, ok, I enjoy looking a good old dull grey hippo, they are fun to watch; but look at this jaguar. I almost didn’t stylized the shapes of the spots, and don’t get me started on the symmetry… 👀⠀ ⠀ The jaguar is on the top of the Amazon forest food chain. As such it regulates the number of herbivorous on their territory and as a consequence is a line of defense against deforestation. ⠀ ⠀ 🌳🌳🌳I’m really tempted to start a series of portraits of endangered species from the Amazon rainforest and perhaps make a few prints out of it, what do you think ?⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #jaguar #cat #feline #portrait #wwf #conservation #endangered #amazon #forest #SaveTheJaguar #illustration #creativeportraits #geometricart #colorful #draw #instartpics #illustrated #illustrateur

This might be the cutest Giant Otter you’ll ever sea. Giant Otters are not as handsome as Sea Otters. They live along the Amazon river, have long fangs and are about the size of a dog. Also they are tough guys, they literally « eat pirañas for breakfast » ! 🐠 ⠀ But as tough as they are, the specie is in danger because of the constant destruction of its habitat. 🌳 ⠀ ✊ A few associations are trying to fight against this insanity happening in South America and especially in Brazil : @wwf @rainforestalliance @conservationorg @planeteamazon @greenpeace.⠀ ⠀ Do you give to any of those associations ? Do you think it makes a difference ? If you know any otter association, give them a shout in the comment section ! 🗣⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #portrait #otter #animal #cute #conservation #amazon #rainforest #river #ecology #printisnotdead #artprint #creation #digitalartwork #illustrationoftheday #illustration #geometric #illustration_best #instaillustration
