Ben Ciccati

TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE? When he’s not doing wheelies in the parking lots on his Schwinn Sting-Ray, Associate Art Director Ben Ciccati helps the editorial design team lay out The Independent each week — and he draws purty pictures, too. His stunning images have graced our covers many times since he first came to the paper in 2006. This is the third time Ciccati has illustrated our Summer Camp Guide cover and issue. His other hobby? Collecting dead bees from our parking lot and keeping them in a jar on his desk.
