Life outside of Dragon Heir....

Because it IS there, honest! I just don't get a chance to talk about it much these days, haha. Three little bits I wanted to share with you as they make me smile:

1. Hamlet just keeps going. Please welcome the chinese edition to the Manga Shakespeare family! He's a busy little Dane, isn't he? I love this edition as it looks so different to others. Lovely design!

2. Princesse Miya magazine is now on issue 3 over in France. With leading art from the wonderful Jessica Jung, it really is a pretty-looking magazine. And it has toys on the cover. Toys, I say! My contribution to this issue was another short story - this time about Princess Kitmina!

3. ImagineFX Magazine. You already know how awesome this mag is, right? You may or may not know that I'm on ImagineFX's panel of artists for the Q&A section - but I thought it worth a mention that the current issue (Dec - 52) features more Vieceli Q&A time than ever before as well as a fold out robot calender! Check it out if you can.

..and that's all for now, folks! Check the links for purchase/extra info! ^_^

Stuffage! ^_^

Well, it sounds like people had a marvellous time at BICS. I was gutted not to be able to go this time - but hopefully next year! ^_^ So, I kind of wanted to bring your attention to two things:

1. Comic Mole Investigates - is a fab little review site where the Comic Mole himself delves into the underbelly of UK comics, mostly independent works. Just recently they've gone a bit crazy and have had a little Emma Vieceli season *blush*, which is amazingly sweet of them! You can check out an interview with me, a mini review of Much Ado About Nothing, and also an essay by the talented Kate Holden (creator of FanDanGo) on my adaptation of Hamlet; it's a pretty fascinating read, even for me! Check out these and other lovelies at the CMI site ^_^

2. Ellerbisms - Marc Ellerby's legendary online diary comic, Ellerbisms, celebrates its 200th strip this week! I was asked if I'd like to contribute a guest strip and leapt at the chance. Brought back fond memories of guesting on Fehed Said and Shari Chankhamma's amazing Rabid Monkeys (gone but not forgotten, guys!). Anyways, I really enoyed doing my little Emmabism and kept giggling throughout! So check it out, as well as the inspiring entries by Lizz Lunney and Matthew Sheret!

Free Comic Book Day is done, next up, Bristol!

What a lovely day! I had a great time at they Walk Among Us. Jon and his wife, Sabina, and the crew were wonderful hosts and looked after us all amazingly. It was also fab to see some friendly faces along. Obviously Andie Tong and Frazer Irving were there, also signing (and in Andie's case - doing the most amazing work next to me and putting me to shame! haha)....but we were joined by several wonderful people besides. From other comic-book massiiiiive posse members like Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen, Antony Johnston and John Aggs....through pocasters like the Dork in your eye crew and friends, to very welcome drop-ins from lovely people like Sarah McIntyre, Lee 'budgie' Barnett and son Phil, and Gemma Cox. You're all huggable! Too many names to mention individually, haha. We also met up with the awesome Paul and Kate later in the day for drinkies. Always a pleasure. ^_^ I got to meet fab new people and see some random faces that I talk to online, but don't get to see in person much....and I even met a ten year old girl who was so scarily talented she had painted a canvas already and brought it along! A special mention: Also along for the ride was the wonderful Lisa Curtis (Lunameth) which meant so much to me as I know it can't have been the most interesting day for her, haha*hug* While she was there, along with a fellow doll-owner(another Emma, haha), she did some snappy camera work...because she's awesome. She's reponsible for the banner photo this entry, and she got this fab shot of my bookie.....oh, and me.... XD This second shot, a fun group action shot, is by Sarah, who was also snappy with the camera and has already written up a write-up of her day - because she's insanely organised! haha... So - a nice day. I'm looking forward to a few days at home now before Bristol next weekend (though not looking forward to the amount of work I have to fit into those few days)....LOL. So - about 30 people out there now have the first copies of Much Ado About Nothing to be seen in public.....I hope you like it!
