A BIT ABOUT EMMA
EMMA IS BASED IN EAST LONDON AND HAS BEEN CREATING STRANGE AND QUIRKY ART MOST OF HER LIFE.
HER BIGGEST INFLUENCES COME FROM FILM, FINE ART AND PICTURE BOOKS.
HER FAVOURITE ARTISTS INCLUDE EGON SCHIELE, AUBREY BEARDSLEY, ASHLEY WOOD, KOJI MORIMOTO, DAVE GIBBONS, FRANK MILLER AND JOHANNES VERMEER. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND MORE, HAVE SHAPED HER WORK AND STYLE.
ANOTHER FAVOURITE IS CHRIS RIDDELL, ILLUSTRATOR OF THE PHILIP RIDLEY CHILDRENS BOOKS SHE LOVED AS A KID IN PRIMARY SCHOOL. EVER SINCE PICKING UP A SHINY COPY OF DAKOTA OF THE WHITE FLATS, EMMA HAS BEEN INTRIGUED BY THE DRAMATIC LINE WORK RIDDELL USES TO PORTRAY THE CRAZY CHARACTERS THAT RESEMBLED LOCAL LONDON PERSONALITIES.
AFTER SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF TIME STUDYING ART THROUGH SCHOOL AND SIXTH FORM, EMMA STILL FINDS HERSELF MOST DAYS WITH A PENCIL IN HAND OR NEW IDEA ON HER BRAIN.
AFTER SHIFTING AROUND VARIOUS MEDIAS (INCLUDING SCREENWRITING), EMMA FOUND HER CALLING - CREATING POLITICALLY CHARGED GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS!
SOME OF HER FAVOURITE COMICS INCLUDE MARTHA WASHINGTON, WATCHMEN, FROM HELL, ANY JUDGE DREDD/2000AD STUFF AND LOADS MORE!
IN HER OWN COMICS SHE FOCUSES ON STRONG FEMALE
PROTAGONISTS, YOUNG WOMEN'S ISSUES AND CIVIL RIGHTS, ALL BLENDED IN A POT WITH COLOURFUL CHARACTERS AND STORYLINES.
