Emmeline

By day, Katy Towell is a web and graphic designer with an impressive portfolio. She lives (or at least receives mail) in the sunny region of Valencia, California. Maybe it's all that sun that drives her to create the beautiful dark and creepy characters that populate childrin r skary.

Emmeline is the sad and lonely star of "The Little Girl Who Was Forgotten By Absolutely Everyone (Even the Postman)" (thanks to Sarcasmo for finding the film). Emmeline may remind you of other sad little goth girls (like Lenore or Emily the Strange) but the story is on par with Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies or the characters in Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy.
