“Part of what makes me love my job so much is how varied it can be, and I tend to switch between working as an artist-for-hire and writing my own stories depending on the job at hand.” – Emma Vieceli

Currently the artist for Olivia Twist (Dark Horse) and the writer for Life is Strange (Titan comics), her recent work includes: Alex Rider (Walker books), The Adventures of Supergirl (DC comics), Doctor Who (Titan comics), Jem & the holograms (IDW) the New York Times-bestselling Vampire Academy graphic novel series (PenguinRandomHouse), Back to the Future (IDW), Avalon Chronicles (Oni Press) and the critically acclaimed independent web series, BREAKS with co-creator Malin Ryden (SoaringPenguin).
