Ben Styles / The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Vancity, U Pretty!
Like a Wallflower
Always watching life from the sidelines.
If you've read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, you'll be familiar with the protagonist of the story Charlie. Always a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines.
Ben Styles caught our eye on a rare non-rainy day. Sitting outside on a bench with his eyes closed for the better part of 30 minutes as the world passes him by. The perfect wallflower.
We struck up a conversation. By all accounts, Ben look as normcore as they come. But the thing about Ben is that the more you speak with him, the more you realise he has many creative layers (like an onion, some may say) under his veneer of chill.
For starters, he hosts his own podcast called "The B Sides with Ben Styles" where he speaks with interesting people of Vancouver's east side.
He is into action sports and recently picked up climbing at The Hive.
Ben also crafts wooden spoons, another passion of his.
Today he is rocking a long sleeve by @flatspotshop (shout out!)
