Decorating the Ubyssey

Halloween’s still quite a ways away but I recently found this buried in my folder so here it is~

From last October’s Halloween issue…

The fellowship and its members (from Fellowship’s Got Talent —a comic about UBC).

And the last batch~

…I have drawn Will and his curly blonde hair so many times in all different styles…

Looking back on a year of illustrating for Will Johson’s Melodramatic Musings column…

My final contribution to the Ubyssey this school year! It’s the Ubyssey staff in muppet form!

Can you name everyone?

Before and after for the front cover of the final issue of this school year! A wrecking ball breaking down a brick wall of all the major stories of this year. The Ubyssey also made a music video reflecting on the events of 2011/2012. Check it out here!»

Some simple drawings I did for a news page about the AMS’ plan to install slides in the new SUB as a faster way to get from floor to floor. Read more about it here»

The layout looks like this:

So a little Matt Parson and Caroline Wong are sliding onto a pile of pillows :)

“For two decades, UBC has played a special role in unofficial diplomacy with North Korea. An unprecedented exchange program brought six professors here last term. How did UBC become a world leader in dialogue with North Korea—and why don’t more people know about it?”

Man this is like the fifteenth time I’ve drawn the clock tower for the Ubyssey -_-;;

It was a nice sunny day so I sat at Koerner to sketch the landscape. It’s good to draw from life whenever you can!

It’s the end of the school year and this is probably the last drawing I will do for Will Johnson’s column Melodramatic Musings. Read it here!»

A comic about UBC and Vancouver in an alternate fantasy universe, published in the center spread of the paper in full colour~!

This is the biggest Ubyssey illustration project I have been involved in (and incidentally my 100th post)! A collaboration between me and the amazingly talented individuals David Marino and Virginie Menard!

It’s kinda hard to read the small text so you can read it a bit better here»

Just searching my name in google images and found this little drawing I totally forgot about so just thought I’d post it… [link]

Editors of the Ubyssey challenge Storm the Wall. The only person who actually looks remotely accurate is Bates (at the top). Geoff is throwing up due to excessive physical exertion and looks like a pale vampire, Jonny looks like a tired little old lady and the News Team look like two constipated elves… I’m sorry, everyone.

Here’s the original sketch:

Two of UBC’s quintessential experiences: Imagine Day orientation and Storm the Wall… combined into one.

…and the second batch of cover illustrations! In order all the way up to the newest one.
