During Tegans senior year she is focused on developing a series of character illustrations inspired from her roots in NY, more particularly the MTA North in NYC. "Since taking Junior studio last semester I've realized how much I love creating characters, most of them are derived from past experiences and relationships, but this project is going to be a little different." Tegan hopes to complete the series by the end of April 2012.
You can also see Tegan's sketchbook, which is featured as part of the Sketchbook Project 2012. The tour begins April 14th at the Brooklyn Art Library.

For Mikes final semester he is transitioning his school projects into the real world! For the rest of the semester Mike plans to write the basic structure of his first foray into graphic novels. Mike is set to have final pages done by May, his current focus is "diving deep into defining who these characters are and where the story is going to go."
Since January Mike has also been interning at DigBoston doing the weekly illustration for Oh Cruel World!; a reader based column where people write in to complain about different aspects of the city. As for other future projects, Mike is planning on submitting a strip for the Hellbound comic compilation being produced by the Boston Comic Round Table. Since taking Alternative Comics and The Graphic Novel class last semester, with Tim Finn, this artist has found himself more proactive in exploring the medium. " I've always been obsessed with this medium, yet always found excuses not to work on." Get to it Mike!
