Creative lockdown: Kiwani Dolean and Ben Stanton

By Lowie Trevena  Wednesday Apr 22, 2020

Kiwani Dolean and Ben Stanton are part of the ongoing Bristol24/7 Creative Lockdown series, showcasing how people in Bristol have been getting arty under lockdown.

Kiwana Dolean, an illustrator, and Ben Stanton, a creative, have come together to create stories for people to read during the coronavirus pandemic.

Unseen Tiny Tales is an illustrated story for children and adults, focusing on mental wellbeing.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

“Our aim was to touch upon the complex feelings from isolation and the loneliness as a result of the current circumstances,” Kiwani and Ben explain. “We hope to add a touch of hope to the day.”

The pair are hoping to create prints of the stories, with all proceeds going to the NHS charities’ Covid-19 appeals.
