Terese Jungle to Exhibit at PIX 2015

Terese Jungle (The Frizzball From Outer Space, Logoz, Energy, Janice, Ninetales, and Human Gestation)By day a professional graphic designer and arts educator, by night a doodler, print maker, dreamer, imaginer, and storyteller, Terese Jungle (aka: t.jungle) has loved graphic novels for decades. She introduced her daughter Ana (aka: aj.dub) to the art form at age 2 by taking her to the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD along with her three self-published books, "Logoz," "Energy," and "Janice" to share with some of her favorite authors and artists. The books were sold independently and at Giant Robot in Los Angeles.

Nine years later, mother and daughter collaborated on their first mini zine, "The Frizzball From Outer Space" with “pillow critter” character that debuted at the Fall 2014 Mattress Factory Museum Art Market and is now available in local Pittsburgh stores, Divertido and The Shop in East Liberty.

Inspired by their work on The Frizzball, Ana then created her first zine, "Ninetales" about her experience as a Pokemon gamer—with plans to continue the title as a series.

Together they’ll be selling these works at PIX—including a recently found small supply of "Logoz," "Energy," and "Janice!"—as well as T-shirts, stickers, and other surprises.

Terese also has a new top secret, full-length graphic novel in the works so please email to join her mailing list for updates: tjungle@tjungle.com.
