About
Hello, I am Emily “Emma” Lysyk. I was born to a Canadian and a Texan, both of whom are entomologists, in a state that was neither of those places. If that doesn’t sound interesting from the beginning, then this comic probably isn’t for you.
History of Em²a
Em²a came into being my freshman year of highschool, but didn’t come into her own comics until my freshman year of college. She’s an extension of myself, my “inner redhead” if you will, and my outlet for thoughts, funny comments, responses, etc. about stuff that happens in my life. I laugh that some people have diaries, but I have a web comic.
My nickname really is Emma, and that’s how you pronounce her name. I started spelling her name with a 2 one day when I decided (like most teenagers) to “do something different.” So, I changed the logo to have an “x” in the last leg of the m, then a “2″, followed by the “a”. After I graduated high school, I thought I would re-vamp Em²a’s image, reflecting my personal change and growth, giving her her signature look of a red t-shirt and blue jean. Not long afterwards, a friend of mine, Mike, helped me come up with the idea of making the m squared instead of the complicated “x2″, and it’s stuck ever since. Thanks, Mike, wherever you are.
A little about me..
My interests are broad and encompass most of the majors available to a media arts student, and as such I am a professional student in addition to working as a full-time graphic designer. I have not obtained a degree (yet), but I am well-versed in many of the available programs with more than 11 years of experience under my belt.
I have been around computers all my life. From our Tandy 1000 TX at age two, owning my very first PC (486 mHz, Win3.11) at age six, making little cartoons from clipart at age eight, to coding HTML and JavaScript at age 12. I’ve been making art since before I can remember, so marrying the two technologies was only natural for me.
I have many hobbies, which can be simplified to most subjects pertaining to the arts, computers, science, nature, old skool gaming (NES, Sega Genesis), and coffee.
My favourite drink is a dirty n’ vanilla chai with whip.
I am currently working on another website to be my main site (separate from my comics), so if you’re interested, feel free to visit Em2aStudios.com
