WELCOME
Good day and welcome to the Creative Writing diary of Emil Karoly Papp.
Emil has had a keen interest in all visual outlets from when he was born claiming later that his first brushstrokes were make with his umbilical cord.
Since then he has made many things and has had some achievements to boot.
In his High School career his drawing and painting got him to the top 30 of his year and later in university awarded him bursaries to pursue the world inside himself. At the end of two thousand and six just after marketing, branding and publishing his as well as his peer's graduate show (a great success) he pushed out into the wide world with hopes and aspirations aplenty. During the beginning of 2007 he discovered the world of visual communication, branding and publishing. In between he found a small amount of time to join fine art shows and record one or two abstract musical compositions as well. The end of 2007 during the last period in his first publishing position marked the time in which he received his first award. The award "The Designer of the year award" at a prestigious publishing house in Cape Town South Africa. After his stay he moved on to be an internationally published illustrator for clients including Mens Health. During the end of two thousand and eight he was hired to work on magazine titles for National Geographic and other projects for clients ranging from the South African Police Service, Discovery Health and Harvard University. In the start of two thousand and nine Emil was head hunted by a young design studio to take on the position of head of design..his stay was short as he began to realise that he had let his dreams to create drift further and further away.
He is now working freelance full time where he paints, draws and designs for anyone who wishes to commission him.
Due to the load of projects Emil has taken on in the last two and a half years his blog had to be split into three parts. The first and the anchor of it all being The Remorseless Metallic Shine. The other two namely The Freelance Predator's Advice (emilpappdesigner.blogspot.com) and The Management of Autocratic Suggestions (emilpappwriter.blogspot.com) (you are here) were created to showcase design work and creative writing respectively.
Welcome to the site and enjoy browsing the work on display. If you like what you see and wish to contact Emil directly please feel free to do so at emilpapp@gmail.com or on +2772 274 2587

Good morning and welcome to my writer's blog.
My Illustration can be found at

and my design work can be found at

The reason why this blog exists: Over the last year or so I have been writing short stories. I have been doing this to allow my creativity to flourish in more than one area of thinking. So today marks the first day of the blog that will accompany Chimera, my first book. The book is currently self published. The term Chimera is most commonly understood as an animal that has two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated in different zygotes, However in it also operates in greek mythology as (Greek ΧίμαιραLatin Chimaera) a monstrous creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, which was made of the parts of multiple animals (Chímaira); In medicine, a person composed of two genetically distinct types of cells. My book will consist of a number of short stories of which the main theme will be the gravitational axis of chimera as a whole.
I have not set a date of completion as I wish the stories to be allowed to grow organically as time goes on. I have therefore started a number of them but none are complete.
Please visit this blog or any of the others I keep growing from time to time. Comments are more than welcome.
Thank you
Emil Karoly Papp
