# About me
Born, raised, and currently living just north of Pittsburgh, PA, Ben Yockelβs work is influenced by 19th century realism and inspired by his fellow contemporaries in the movie and video game industries (ie. Concept Art). Entering the public art market in 2012 Yockel is primarily self taught, finding most of his growth while attending college for Theology and Philosophy. With the use of bright vibrant colors, contrasting values, and adventurous imagery, Yockel finds that each piece should tell a unique story allowing the viewer to be transported to a new world. He believes that everyone will see something different in a piece of art, and feels his work is not different in this respect. However, creating work that inspires others is the challenge he sees in making something new. He also takes great pride in teaching art to aspiring artists via. Youtube.Yockel is a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Artists Guild, the Red Fish Bowl (A collection of Pittsburgh area artists), and his work can be seen around the city of Pittsburgh as well as online.

Have read your comment on Xrisoka's feedback. I'm already wondering where your moral right comes from. And where do you think to judge the people, which you do not know in the end. Maybe you should look at yourself in the Spigel and ask yourself the question, I can between fictitious story
or reality, or not.
I think you have to learn a lot in your life.

Hello, do not be angry with me, but if after a few days you no longer know who you have written comments, we leave it. I have my point on the subject of whether Xrisoka is on the wrong side or not written, so it is done for me. I still wish you a nice day, it should only make you think - nothing else ....sorry for my english.

Saw you in the forums somewhere I believe. I tend to stalk the forums here for questions I can answer. Nice to know that one appearance I had on Sycra's channel made an impact. (I also interviewed him over on my channel if you haven't seen that yet).
Are you a Pittsburgh artist too?

Hi, stumbled across your page via browsing the general forums and then was confronted by your front page piece on "why do we stop" which intrigued me as I am also one of those that stopped for a number of years for a number of reasons and recently came back to learn (for realsies this time) hehe. Β Then I checked out your you tube linked from your bio. Watched the intro and had a good chuckle when you blew in the cartridge, subbed straight away (Feorious).
Your gallery is amazing, I hope one day I can learn to create that kind of beauty and sense of adventure and wonderment.
