Tess Langston
MisCon 38 Attending Professional
Tess Langston is the creator and owner of ShadowCast Studio where she self publishes her online graphic novels, creates graphic designs, traditional and digital art. At the age of three she was diagnosed with autism, which has proved to be a strength in her case. From a very early age she loved sequential storytelling and started her pursuit into comics and animation. Since then, she has graduated from the University of Montana with a B.F.A in Media Arts Animation and was awarded the Outstanding Senior Award in her field. Since 2012 she has been publishing her work professionally including a short comic for Apostrophe magazine, 'Anime Asylum' on some-stories.com, 'Coffee Ghost' shorts, and is currently working on her newest work 'Legend Catcher' at legendcatcher.com and other projects yet to be announced. On stage she has been known to do standup comedy for Cheeky Geeky Vaudeville and short skits with fellow performers. Her love of mythology, biology, animation, stage performance, dancing, and other nerdy things have made their way into her writing one way or another with a fun unique twist. You can find more of her work at shadowcaststudio.com.
