TOOLSONG Gallery: Stephen M. Millben II (BOONDOXXINK)
MadJax Maker Force presents a new exhibition in TOOLSONG Gallery featuring work by Muncie-based visual artist Stephen M. Millben II (BoondoxxInk). The exhibition showcases Millben’s layered visual style, blending digital illustration, resin, painting, and intricate pattern-based compositions.
Millben, a Ball State University graduate with a BFA in Graphic Design, describes himself as a “serial artist,” constantly exploring new mediums and techniques. The works on view highlight his evolving Urban Mandala series alongside other experimental styles, where spontaneous sketches, textures, and layered marks come together to create balanced, highly detailed compositions.
Opening night takes place during Third Thursday, when MadJax Maker Force partners with the Muncie Makers Market to host an indoor night market throughout the building. Visitors are invited to explore the gallery while also enjoying local makers, food and drinks, live music, and other Third Thursday activities happening simultaneously at MadJax.
Opening Night: Thursday, March 19
Time: 5:00–8:00 p.m.
Location: TOOLSONG Gallery at MadJax Maker Force
Admission: Free and open to the public
Following the opening, the exhibition will remain on view during MadJax’s public hours, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
