title: Chicken: A Comic Cat Memoir
author: Terese Jungle
description: Author, artist, and educator, Terese Jungle received her M.F.A. in Visual Communications from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She taught graphic design for 10 years; has shown artwork in a range of mediums; and presently sells her art prints online and in boutique and museum gift shops. She wrote and illustrated "Chicken: A Comic Cat Memoir" over a period of years-after teaching classes, on breaks between sessions, in late nights and early mornings, on art retreats, and sometimes in her sleep. She found a home in the engaging but challenging process of combining autobiographical storytelling, comics, collage, graphic design, photography, and typography with new media (the book was created on an iPad). "Chicken" is her first book, though in 2014, she and her daughter collaborated on "The Frizzball from Outer Space" booklet and pillow critter which can be found in Pittsburgh shops and online at tjungle.com, along with her digital art prints, typography-based silkscreen prints, and other visual merchandise, including prints of illustrations from "Chicken." Despite her nomadic past, she remains (for now) in Pittsburgh, with her artist daughter and the next cat who found them.
