Ben Redlich is the great grandson to Latvian immigrants, and was born May 23rd, 1977, in Brisbane, Australia. Much of his childhood was spent generally doing lots of things requiring subsequent Tetanus shots. When he wasn't doing these things he spent every waking hour doodling on school note pads.

Ben continues to doodle for a living. He also works part time as a church cleaner. He currently shares a cluttered unit room with silverfish and dust mites. This is his studio, office and bedroom in one.
