Oh hey. It's Ben! I'm the Creative Director at Authento Creative and I specialize in branding, design, and creative presentation. I'm now accepting new clients for 2025!
I don't usually wish ill upon others, but I hope every single supporter of that stupid fucking Nazi has the worst holiday season possible. I hope they wake up on Christmas with coal in their stocking and shit in their pants. And worse, but I won't say it.

Our performers last night were out of this world! 🛸
These stars lit up the stage at the Black Mass Movie Cult Holiday Special. They summoned galactic energy while Mother Jade led the congregation in a celebration of Life Day before a sacred screening of the infamous STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL. 🟢🔴
