Emilia Ojala

Emilia Ojala

Creator of the hit webcomic FOX FIRES

Emilia Ojala, better known as Pipilia, hails from the small, cold country of Finland. A self-taught artist with a degree in graphic design, Emilia had always dreamed of doing comics for a living...while also owning many pets, of course!

Her passion for storytelling, art, and animation led her to write and illustrate her own stories at a very young age. Even back then her stories centered around animals, particularly the adventures of her family's pets.

The small, Finnish towns she lived in, with their close proximity to fields and forests, provided Emilia with many opportunities to spend ample time in nature. These experiences have driven her creative process for stories about what might happen within nature when people aren't around to see it.

Emilia is also a big fan of mythology. While reading Finnish tales on one particular day, she suddenly got the idea to create "Fox Fires." Since Finnish mythology is somewhat lesser-known, even among Finns, she thought this could be a wonderful opportunity to bring it to the rest of the world and perhaps even get people more excited about it!
