BenBen + Lily’s EP ‘White Elephant’ has arrived today to scrub the stains out your eyes and ears! Co-created shortly after the release of BenBen’s Sincere Gifts album, White Elephant is a testament to the duo’s unique fusion of riff-driven rock with folk magic.
It’s an anthem for folks navigating life with anxiety… who also like to rock. This Summer, BenBen + Lily will embark on a three-week tour of the UK and EU in support of this EP. Many people gifted their talents to this little package of songs. We are really excited to share it with you! Thank you to: @juliancdreyer - 2nd mixing engineer @jennica_best - mastering @_feeb_ - drums + main mixer @sleepybeee_ - album artwork

I am glad that the illustrations and the designs I did for @benbensings ‘ album Sincere Gifts have been long-listed by @worldillustrationawards this year! There are 500 entries on the longlist, chosen from over 5,000 entries. It’s my honor to be one of them. The inspiration comes from the mysterious elements in the album, such as the ocean, time (dusk and night), the names of the songs, and the singer’s process of creating this album. The cover’s design includes elements from all the songs from the album. Welcome to @benbensings ‘s account to support his new album and music! . . . . . . #illustration #digitalart #illustration #illustrator #cherryblossom #newyorkcity #illustrationartists #posterdesign #creative #creativeboom #creativeview #digitalart #itsnicethat #womenwhodraw #womenofillustration

Lily + BenBen escape the gaze of the Eye of their Beholder. Don’t look into its eye! Just think Silver Thoughts... #eyeofthebeholder #dungeonsanddragons #mylittlepony #unicorn

I would like to just live inside this string arrangement I worked on with the incredible @isabel.williamson.music in anticipation of the upcoming UK tour I’m doing with my owl sister @lilygoddamndesmond - performed here alongside @concettallegra and @__pierre___pierre__ - if we’re all lucky, you’ll have a few chances to hear this and a lot more gorgeously arranged music this summer.

A rainy adventure from BenBen + Lily, in a brush with death as well as a brush with creation. Another single from the upcoming White Elephant out now on all platforms thanks to @perpetualdoom Actual footage of the owl siblings riding away from a mythical monster courtesy of animation genius @sashad_draws - Part 2 next week!
