100 Block Rock Another favourite illustration I produced for Discorder magazine is the very first one I contributed—way back in January 2021! Accompanying a review for “100 Block Rock”, a compliation album of music by artists based in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES), this assignment really gave me a chance to explore some themes of hope and community based on the album’s lyrics. The cover image for “100 Block Rock”, based on a sidewalk mosaic at Hastings and Main

There's just enough time left today to sneak in another piece of #Illustration #ThrowbackThursday - this time going back to the first illustrations I contributed to #Discorder magazine. Enjoy!

A cartoon-style elevator scene framed by the opened doors. The environment and a pair of men in business suits are depicted with little detail and in greyscale. A young woman with an afro is centred facing the viewer with her eyes closed in contentment. She is wearing headphones and apparently levitating about six inches off the ground, while around her head an imagined scene of colourful clouds fills the elevator.

Top left: An elevator button with the label "1", a background of upward-pointing orange arrows and the braille for "win" overlaid in white. Top right: An elevator button with the label "2", a background of downward-pointing blue arrows and the braille for "lose" overlaid in white. Bottom left: An elevator button with the label "G" and a star indicating main level, a background of a green root pattern on a brown background and the braille for "roots" overlaid in white. Bottom right: An elevator button with an alarm button label, a background of radiating red exclamation marks on a beige background and the braille for "SOS" overlaid in white. The dots in the "O" are stretched out like the dashes of "O" in Morse code.

Top left: An elevator button with an open doors symbol, a background of wavy blue, green, pink, lilac and brown stripes and the braille for "parting" overlaid in white. Top right: An elevator button with a close doors symbol, a background of wavy yellow, green, magenta, red, and blue stripes and the braille for "meeting" overlaid in white. Bottom left: An elevator button with a "0" symbol, a purple background with tiny white stars sprinkled in a band, and the braille for "empty" overlaid in white. Bottom right: An elevator button with a fingerprint symbol, which extends into the background with red ridges on a pink background, and the braille for "touch" overlaid in white.

Top left: An elevator button with an x-shaped cross symbol, the background is a plaid-style cross hatching of red on pink, and the braille for "do not" is overlaid in white. Top right: An upward-facing triangular elevator call button containing an opened eye symbol on yellow sun rays. The braille for "arise" is overlaid in white. Bottom left: An elevator button for the pi'th floor, the background is a green and orange spiral, and the braille for "return" is overlaid in white. Bottom right: A downward-facing triangular elevator call button containing a closed eye symbol and moon on blue light rays. The braille for "settle" is overlaid in white.

A bit of old illustration for you - originally produced for the Dec 2022-Jan 2023 issue of #Discorder magazine at #UBC
