Ben Putney, Staff Illustrator

Ben Putney (he/him) is a third-year marketing student and illustrator from the Bay Area in California. He sometimes draws funny pictures, but recently, the art’s been less funny and more acceptable, so he works with The Beacon now. In his free time, he enjoys drawing more pictures. You can find his work on some people’s walls.
