2020! ^_^

It's a new year and it's time for a roundup! I've gone all quiet, I know, but let's do this!
First up, BREAKS! Malin and I are into arc three! Thanks to generous kickstarter backing, and my amazing patrons, we are now in the last arc of the story. The special edition was a success and Soaring Penguin are releasing the second volume very soon ^_^ We left our smackjeeves home, but we continue to update at Tapas!
A game I was on art duties for released from tinyrebel games! Written by Jac Rayner, the Silent Streets of Barry Island is available on steam and mobile.
Life is Strange got renewed for a whole new season thanks to titan and square enix! We're three collected books into the story so far, and Claudia Leonardi, Andrea Izzo, Jimmy Bettancourt and I are now working on issues 13 and beyond! It's been a real thrill getting to work as a writer when it's not for myself to draw, and I couldn't have asked for a better project or team to cut my teeth on. I even bagged myself a breakout writer award from Multiversity! ^_^
I've been guesting a bit here and there and keeping busy in amongst writing Life is Strange and co-writing and comicking on BREAKS; with covers like this one for Action Avengers, DIE for Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans and some IDW goodies...in fact I'm currently drawing a GI JOE issue for them, so more news on that when I have it.
2020 is hopefully a year mostly about getting BREAKS done and continuing season 2 of Life is Strange -with a few bits and bobs on the side. I feel very lucky to have an opportunity to give a little TLC to my creator owned projects whilst also getting to write a series I love. Thanks for sharing the adventure with me! ^_^

Last full week of the kickstarter ^_^

The kickstarter is currently £90 away from its first stretch goal and that is thanks to the amazing people pledging and sharing! Heroes! We are now in the last full week of the campaign so this is the time to leap! I'm only printing 500 of these special editions, and they won't be available in shops or online after the kickstarter ends...so if you want to bag a copy, as well as some special items like original commissions on the higher tiers, then don't miss out. Do jump on board while the campaign is running! Thank you so much! ^_^

KICKSTARTER UPDATE - thank you! ^_^

As of Thursday, last week, we hit our initial kickstarter goal and I'm just over the moon. Thank you so much for every pledge and share - it's all helped! Now, this means that the special edition is a real thing and we can go to print -which is amazing. But anything we make now on the campaign goes towards time I can spend on creating the pages of arc three - which is double amazing! So, if you want to jump on board, nab yourself a copy of this limited, special edition and - in the process - support the creation of arc three, be sure to get on board before July 31st!
And to sweeten the deal even more, I am lucky enough to have got the amazing Triona Farrell on board to colour book two's cover! Christina Strain did book one and I am still in love with that image. To follow up with Triona makes me a very lucky gal - as are these boys! ^_^

KICKSTARTER!

Yep! BREAKS has been free-to-read for six years and, with volume two imminent, it seemed a good time to try my first ever kickstarter! if we hit the target we get to make a lovely, hard back, special edition of the volume...if we exceed it, I get to buy more days to work on arc three! Thanks to my patrons via patreon I currently can afford two days a month to work on BREAKS, but imagine how much faster acr three could happen with more time! That's where KS comes in. So, if you're enjoying the comic, this is your chance to get involved and make it happen faster! (and get your hands on some shinies!) ^_^

Updates from me ^_^

Let's start with the news that OLIVIA TWIST is now collected a released from Dark Horse as a shiny graphic novel, available wherever they're sold. :)
Closely followed by the news that the LIFE IS STRANGE collected edition is also due for release this week, and - hot on its heels - issue #5 continues the story. Claudia Leonardi (my amazing artist) and I will be in Forbidden Planet in London for a signing of my exclusive variant cover on that issue on June 1st. Click banner for info.^_^
Last up - it's not an update from me without a mention of BREAKS. I'm pulling together pages for the second volume of Malin Ryden and my story - along with a very special edition that will be available on kickstarter only - more news on that soon! ^_^

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

If you're celebrating, make it a great one. Thank you for a wonderful year, and here's to a creatively exciting 2019! xx

It's one of Emma's totally rare blog updates! ^_^

Because, yes, announcements have happened and I can start talking about some fun stuff - weeee! As ever, click the banners for more info. I'm actually mixing up my comicking a bit this year because I'll be donning my pure writing hat as well, but let's start with:
OLIVIA TWIST: I'm on art duties for this one, with colours by Lee Loughridge, and getting to work with the incredible Karen Berger as my editor!
LIFE IS STRANGE: I'm writing the official comic for this truly magnificent series and I can't quite believe it still! The news broke at SDCC and the response has been heartwarming and wonderful. ^_^ The banner here is from the cover by amazing interior artist, Claudia Leonardi. I'm excited to be writing for her!
2000AD: Back to art, and I recently drew and Anderson story for the summer special, written by Maura McHugh, colours by Barbara Nosenzo.
BREAKS: No update is complete without a reminder that Malin Ryden and my angst-filled mystery love story is still continuing ^_^
?????: and finally...a mystery! Still to be announced, all i can tell you about this mystery image right now is that I'm on art duty and it's not a comic! oho! The colours you see here were by Dylan Teague. More on this soon :)
And that's it for now! Please do follow me on twitter (@emmavieceli) or at my facebook page for more regular updates, if you want 'em. Otherwise, see you back here in about six months? ;)

Juggling like a juggler ^_^

It's been a time of flux over this new year just gone, and there's a good reason I've not been able to update this workblog for a while: I've just not been able to talk about anything I'm working on 0_O Always a little frusrating, but it's nice to take the time to beaver away quietly.
So -what CAN I say? well, BREAKS is still weaving its way. We're half way through arc two online now (tapas edition linked here) and still going strong!
I got to take part in the amazing Xmas special for The Wicked + The Divine, drawing two stories, both coloured by the amazing Matt Wilson. *swoon*
Beyond that, I've done some cover work (like this Ghostbusters one for IDW, coloured by Luis Antonio Delgado), and then been mostly a comics ninja; lying in wait XD
I hate not being able to share work, but I'm juggling three jobs right now, on top of BREAKS, with more on the way and there's just never enough time in comics, eh? Hopefully I'll have a more useful update soon!
