The effect of Benjamin’s artwork, constructed with simplified geometric forms, is sort of low-poly count 3D objects. The effect is amplified by how he applies textures onto his forms. One of the funniest examples is this series of stuff on top of dogs. See the dogs and more from Benjamin on his website and Tumblr.
