Ben Smallman began animation in Flash in 2003, when his dad got him Web Design for Dummies with a Flash 5 trial with the hopes of me making a website for him (never happened btw). After fiddling around with the Flash 5 the grammar school conveniently had handy, his geeky friend gave him Flash MX and some webspace and the rest is history. (Not particularly interesting history, mind you.)

Since then, Ben, going under the name Wonchop, has worked his way up the flash versions and has made several contributions to internet communities such as Newgrounds and Deviantart. Some of his top works include the IT Geeks series, and the music video for Akira the Don's Hypocrite.

Since 2008, he has been working with Weebl's Stuff (ironically the first flash he made was a crappy Weebl and Bob ripoff), producing various hits such as Narwhals and Melons. He has also worked for various clients including E4, TalkTalk and others, with his work also appearing on television shows such as The Kevin Bishop Show.

He is currently studying Animation in university, hoping to come out with something. He doesn't fancy telling you which specific university because advertising where you dwell to the internet is shtoopid.
