My Name is Ben Nease.  And this is my site.  Let’s take a look into the wonderful world of me.  I grew up in Western New York in the very small town of West Clarksville (don’t blink).  I now live in Alfred with my wife of two years, Amanda, where I attend school.  I have been attending Alfred State College for four years (with two to go).  I Have an Associate in Computer-Aided Drafting and Technical Illustration.  I also have a drafting certification through A.D.D.A (American Drafting and Design Association.)  I now am pursuing a Bachelor in Science, majoring in Digital Media and Animation.  I grew up in a very artistic background.  My mother has been an artist since the dawn of time.  She has done everything from pencil, to stained glass, to painting to, seamstress work. A lot of this I have picked up myself.  She currently owns her own business (Robbynsnestdesigns.com (plug plug)).  She is a needlepoint artist.  She travels the country selling hand-painted needlepoint canvases to rich old ladies.  We also collaborate on other custom art jobs.  Currently I am finishing school and trying to stay occupied with my house drawings. And there you have it, me in a nutshell.  I may update this information as the future whizzes by.  Other than that, see you in the funny papers.
