It's hard to know which place to start with Ben Frichot - the paintbrush or the guitar - or, indeed, which of these came first. But these days they are one and the same... or, at least, two arteries flowing from the same source.

And whether it is experienced with your eyes or your ears, the art of Ben Frichot is a very easy place to lose yourself into a world of impossible landscapes, improbable physics and truly imperishable characters. A world defined by the iconography of mankind's fascinations and superstitions through the ages.

As a visual artist, Frichot's ARIA-nominated work has defined a decade of tour posters alone - his own style becoming as sought-after a commodity as the acts themselves, and as inimitable as his fingerprint. The allure of the distorted parallel universe that lives in Frichot's mind has drawn in some of the most important musicians of our time... artists from utterly different realms of music, but with the common trait of creative genius.

As a musician, Frichot has taken stage and held his own with his biggest heroes - guitarists such as Dick Dale, whose influence can be found speckled throughout Ben's body of work as the 'voice' of instrumental spy-guitar band Day Of The Dead. The best kind of shredder - one who can, but simply chooses not to - Frichot's elegant guitar style bears the unmistakable trait of mastery: the illusion of effortlessness. To have such tone at one's fingertips, as we all know though, can neither be taught nor bought. It belongs only to a gifted few who just have it.

So it's hard to know whether to call Ben Frichot a musician or a graphic artist, because he is frighteningly good at both. Come to think of it, it's actually a bit unfair.

But he deserves to be as good as he is, because he never stops wanting to be good... to be better. And his imagination never stops working... never stops colliding universes and ideologies until what remains is a limitless place where you can find yourself going 'of course it's a voodoo mermaid totem pole from outer-space... it's a Frichot'.

And what a wonderful place that is.
