Wowza! It's been six years since I logged into DeviantArt! Ben 10 was trending on Twitter and it got me feeling nostalgic for the good ol' Deviant Days. I don't plan on making a come back here, but just wanted to remind folks I'm still very active on Instagram & Twitter at @benjuhmuhn! Thinking about doing a daily Ben 10 drawing series in the coming months... Much love old friends, Benjamin (aka KJMARCH) Mackey

FRIENDS AND COUNTRYMAN.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I AM NOT DEAD.
I CONTINUE TO MAKE ART AND SUCH THINGS:

MAYBE YOU LIKE TWITTER?
OR TUMBLR, YES TUMBLR IS NICE!
I do not know if I shall be returning to DeviantArt in the near future, but I wanted to offer up additional thanks you for all of the kind birthday wishes that I so woefully neglected and for creating such a marvelous online art community in my early days of web-based artistry.
Much love forever!

Commission for Premium Membership?
0 min read
Hi folks!
I'm looking to do a bit of an exchange...
Just as I was about to renew my Premium Membership, I thought to myself, instead of going the round about way of doing a commission, getting paid, then putting that money towards the Premium Membership...I could cut out the middle man and offer up a commission for someone willing to gift me a year of Premium Membership.
Here is what you would get for your utmost generosity!
- One single page illustration or single page comic! (6 or 7 panels max)
- Full color!
- Whatever subject you would like! Got an original character,
Premium Membership for a Year=$29.99
Let me know if you are in

This user is stealing your art:
Do you know where I can get a hold of the user named cannonbolt11?
Can
Do you mind if I borrow you version of Atomix, Smashface, and Teleportail? Don’t worry, I’ll credit you. If not, I understand.
Hey KJmarch I just want to say thank you for drawing these Ben 10 aliens, especially the non Canon ones like Razoredge and Teleportal. When I first saw this back in 2012, I felt really hyped because of how awesome the aliens were that were not part of the actually cartoon.
Happy birthday!
Happy Awesome Birthday Benjamin!
Happy Birthday!
