Her series "The Chapel Chronicles" is an all-ages strip that tells of the adventures and fantastic imaginings of Chapel Smith, a Lady Gaga-obsessed 11 year-old with a fondness for elaborate headwear and a pet hedgehog named Rupert who tends to sit on top of her head.

Webcomic Friday: Chapel Chronicles

This week's #WebComicFriday pick comes from an unlikely source. Her name is Emma T. Capps, and she's 14 years old. Yet, she's managed to create a sweet, adorable character named Chapel Smith. Chapel is described as "A zany girl", and is the star of the weekly Chapel Chronicles. Chapel has a wild imagination, and her wit is often thwarted by her babysitter, Fred. Read more...

Prunus cerasifera. CHERRY PLUM. Asia ROSACEAE (Rose family)

Emma T Capps has written and illustrated an account of gathering cherry plum fruit "Jam Days," which also includes a recipe for cherry plum jam: www.chapelchronicles.com.

This is probably the most obscure and interesting reference to my comic art, Jam Days. The story involves gathering cherry plum fruit from local trees in my hometown of San Carlos, but I also noticed many cherry plum trees at Stanford University last summer while attending EPGY.

MoCCA 2011 (Drinks on Gary Groth)

Now this little girl was the cutest, sweetest person at the show with the best rehearsed pitch EVER. She came up, introduced herself as Emma T. Capps, explained to me that she is a 14 year old cartoonist who had the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. She then asked if she could give me a submission of comics, buttons and postcards. As if the poise and moxie aren't enough, she is a damn fine cartoonist in her own right. We will be hearing much more from Emma.

That Was The MoCCA Weekend That Was

Across from the BCR table was Emma T. Capps, a 14-year-old whose “Jam Days” won the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Her foreshortening skills alone are enough to guarantee that she’s got a future as an artist, and she self-promotes with the energy and verve only a young teenager can.

The Chapel Chronicles

Perhaps one of the most exciting parts of attending the annual MoCCA Festival (the eclectic comicbook convention that supports the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in New York City) is the appearance of youthful, energetic, entertaining, and incredibly talented newcomers to the field. We were reminded of this when we crossed paths with Emma T. Capps, a 14-year old, award-winning author, artist, and creator of The Chapel Chronicles, an on-line & print comic that details the wildly silly antics of an 11-year old girl named Chapel Smith.....

San Mateo Times An eighth-grader at The Nueva School in Hillsborough, Emma won the Gold Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her comic strip, "Jam Days."

The competition attracted 185,000 submissions in 30 categories, including poetry, humor, journalism, film and animation. Renowned artists, authors and educators judged the students' works, which were rated on originality, technical skill and the emergence of personal vision or voice.

Emma has also designed a line of 25 greeting cards in English and Spanish for a school project and will be selling them along with her comic and cartoon art, donating the profits to 826 Valencia, the charity that is nearest to her heart and where she was introduced to her art teacher, Dan Archer... read more
