Peyton Stark

Describe the work you submitted for merits.

The work that I submitted for the merit awards is a summary of all the work I have made in the last year at MCAD. My illustrations feature digital and traditional work that tells a story through the imagery whether it be children's book Illustrations, editorial illustration, or surface design.

Why did you decide to come to MCAD?

I came to MCAD originally because of the uniqueness of the comics major but ended up finding my passion in illustration—although I do take some comics classes on the side.

What are your plans for your senior year? And beyond?

I graduate this coming fall and have only one Illustration class left to complete my major so I am looking forward to rounding out my skillset in other elective classes. Beyond MCAD I am planning on working in publishing, particularly in children's book illustration. My senior project is currently an original children's book that I can pitch to different publishers soon after I graduate.
