Degrassi: Extra Credit

Author J. Torres and I worked with the people behind the TV series, Degrassi the Next Generation, to bring their characters to a graphic novel format. A manga-esque look was requested, and a five page pitch was prepared touching on one of the first storylines: a teenage girl dealing with workplace harassment. The producers were changing the character’s look between seasons of the show, and so her final appearance was revised for publication. My contribution to the project was illustrating the pitch, the interiors of the first graphic novel, and painting four covers in the style agreed upon with the Art Director.

Depicted: The original pitch, including green cover variation, and two of the published covers from the series.
