Abstract
Brief: The purpose of our project was to create a graphic novel comprised of the short stories of Russian author Anton Chekhov.
Great literature often inspires interpretation, but interpretation often fails to shed meaningful light upon an original work. Our goal in embarking upon the task of illustrating twelve of Anton Chekhov’s short stories was to not only recontextualize Chekhov’s literary world, but to build upon the artistic nuances planted within his prose.
