I first discovered Ben Jacques’ art when I was working as an editor at BeatRoute, to which he contributed twisted, hilarious illustrations such as the infamous ‘Barfield’ for an article on New Year’s Eve events in Calgary that had absolutely nothing to do with what we’d assigned him. These days, Barfield is hanging on a wall next to the kitchen at the Arbour Lake Sghool, and the next time I’m in town I intend to steal it. We’re super stoked to have Ben join the Texture crew, and I’d be remiss not to mention that he’s a really good dancer, master of Devo karaoke and wicked musician too. – Jesse Locke
