Emma Rendel

Her graphic stories have been published in magazines such as Galago, Icon magazine, Le Gun and Art Review, and her illustrations have been used by: Time Out, Form and Battersea Arts Centre. Rendel has participated in various exhibitions including COMICA at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 2008 and Cut my legs off and call me shorty! At Tensta Konsthall, 2009. She is currently teaching illustration in a Visual Communications course at Konstfack. Rendel is credited with coining the term "awkwardist" in an article by Paul Gravett, originally published in Art Review, London. This term coincides with the theme of "social awkwardness leading to sinister repercussion" that she achieves throughout all of her short graphic novels.
