In 2009, Ben began drawing cartoons to protest the banker bailout and America's dysfunctional and immoral system of money as well as raise awareness of the growing police state in America. His cartoons have been seen by millions all around the world. For years Ben was the most trolled cartoonist in the world until he reclaimed his own voice through persistent publicity on social media. Ben is a Libertarian who drew many cartoons that supported Ron Paul's run for the presidency.

In addition, Ben is an award-winning fine artist who paints in a cubist style. His work was featured at a contemporary art gallery in Bigfork, Montana until Internet trolls flooded the owner with hate mail. Ben had to leave the gallery and is currently looking for another one. One of his paintings was featured on a book cover by John de Lint, "Sheriff Poole & The Mech Gang."

Ben Garrison published a book in April, 2015 titled, "Rogue Cartoonist," in which he features a short biography, his cartoons and the internet perils he faced when a legion of trolls began attacking him in an attempt to ruin his reputation.

In 2017 Ben Garrison published, "The 2016 Presidential Election Collection," a compilation of cartoons drawn during President Trump's election campaign. In 2018, he published "Lock Them Up!, which contains cartoons drawn since Trump's election.
