Ep. 79 - Benjamin Last

Concept artist and vehicle designer Benjamin Last joins us this week to share his continent-spanning career in the automotive industry, working with massive companies such as Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC to name a few. We have a good back and forth about his processes for approaching different tasks, the age-old argument of 2D vs 3D, and where his allegiance lies. In working around the world, Benjamin has had a ton of amazing experiences, in all kinds of different cultures and countries – many of which he shares over the course of our discussion.
