Biography

Living in Brazil since 1983, Alan Stone Langdon was born in Pennsylvania, USA in 1977. Since his early years, he has been energetically creative in the visual arts, creating a constant and diverse gamut of work in drawing, painting and sculpture. In 1993 he began creating 2D and 3D computer animations and in art school focused on moving images.He holds a Bachelors in Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he focused on Film, Animation and Video. Playfully blending the genres of documentary, personal narrative and animation, Langdon's work tends to spring from experiences of travel/search and estrangement/identification, interacting with the external world in a careful balance between the poetic and the everyday. He is also co-founder and co-director of the collective Pintô Sujêra, a group of friends that produces off-the-wall videos full of amusing characters and cheap philosophy. Alan currently works as an Editor at the University of Southern Santa Catarina - UNISUL. He also freelances as a Motion Graphics Designer for companies such as Sockeye Creative, Nike and Adidas/Boston Marathon.
