Ben has been busy through the summer attending sleepaway camp, learning to surf, and working on various projects including his Scratch game opus Hotel Griven and a video thriller called Apple Jack The Ripper: The Cereal Killer, but he has also found time to add one more to his series of Presidential portraits.
Grover Cleveland is best known for serving two nonconsecutive terms (making him both the 22nd and the 24th Presidents) and for appearing on the $1000 bill, but he has a few other, lesser-known distinctions: he was one of only three Presidents to be married in office, he proclaimed Labor Day a national holiday, and in his second term he secretly underwent emergency surgery (aboard the yacht Oneida) to have a cancerous growth removed from his mouth.
The schizophrenic appearance of Ben’s portrait is his way of combining the younger Cleveland of his first term with the older one one of his second. You can view it big here.
