About

Hi, I’m Jennifer Benedict, an illustrator based in Cleveland, Ohio. I recently earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Cleveland Institute of Art, with a Creative Writing minor, and I love turning ideas into playful, engaging art.

Since 2016 I’ve done freelance commissions for posters, logos, pet portraits, and fan art, including a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony poster and band posters for local venues. I also apprenticed under a DC Comics artist at CIA and completed a full comic issue, and I enjoy collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life across digital and traditional media.
