CRAZE

Craze is an Australian comic company founded during the time of COVID-19 in 2021. However, the very beginning came around the time I gave up on myself and my creativity.​​​

​

Throughout my life I was creative. In 1996, I got to work in a small studio creating characters. In 1997-1999 I studied Fine Arts, in 2010 studied IT Multimedia and in 2012-2014 I gained a Bachelor's degree in animation.

​

In 2017 or roughly around then, I gave up on my creativity. After all my studies and trying to fine my way into a career using my artist talents, nothing eventuated. I got to be involved in small productions, but nothing that gave good recognition.

​

I was burnt out and I couldn't draw anything.

 

Every time I went to pick up a pencil, I felt a disguised for it. So one day during 2017 or roughly around that time, I did pick up a pencil and I put it straight back down and I told my God straight, 'I give up and I don't want my creativity anymore.'

​

The next day, I had an encouragement from God with a slight warning:

 

"Ben? If you don't put your creativity and imagination into practice, you will regret it."

 

I pondered on those words. Just to add, my faith is in Jesus Christ and that is my belief.

 

So taking the Lord's advice, I decided to try again using my creativity. I reignited my interest for comics, art and storytelling.

 

It is from God's encouragement to me that Craze was born.
