Ben Claassen III is a comics artist and illustrator originally from New Orleans, Louisiana[1] who frequently works with non-traditional media such as stencils, long exposure photography, and the use of stop-motion animation via a Game Boy Camera. He is best known for his illustrations in Wil Wheaton's first book, Dancing Barefoot[2] and for his weekly comic strip, Dirt Farm, which has survived tough economic times via Claassen's policy of allowing papers to run the comic even if they can no longer afford to pay for it.[3] Dirt Farm runs in several alternative weekly publications, including Washington City Paper, Baltimore City Paper, the Chicago Reader, and the Chattanooga Pulse.[4]

A near-graduate of Louisiana State University, Claassen currently spends his time working on DIRTFARM, travelling, keeping a daily comic journal, and working freelance as an illustrator / graphic designer.

In addition to his other work, Claassen illustrates and maintains Killoggs.com,[5][6] a web-based community for "displaced and disaffected Southern artists, animators, writers and wage slaves".
