Scott Langteau

Writer: Sofa Boy, 

The Question,

Just Here to Save the World, BULLIED, and The Frog at the Window.

Growing up in the small town of Seymour Wisconsin, playtime came ready-made with Scott's 11 brothers and sisters.  No lie!  Having fun then meant grabbing a sibling, heading outside and imagining a world around you.

 

That imagination brought Scott a Masters  in Theater from Villanova University and to L.A. where he has worked as an actor, writer, and producer for nearly 15 years.  Best known for his work on the acclaimed Medal of Honor game franchise, Scott has worked for the likes of DreamWorks, Electronic Arts, and the Jim Henson Company.

 

The co-founder of the video game development studio Spark Unlimited, Scott resides happily in a humble abode in Hollywood, CA.  He hopes this book (for reading!) is some small consolation to the game addictions he may have unwittingly helped inflict on so many for so long...

Growing up in Southern California, Lidat has been drawing since he was just a little kid watching animals at the zoo.  A good portion of his childhood was spent engulfed in comic books and playing video games not unlike many other kids his age. 


After finishing high school and spending a few years at UC Irvine, he decided it was time to take a shot at drawing for a living and enrolled at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena - from which he graduated in 2007. 
 

Since then, Lidat has provided a wide variety of concept art, storyboards and illustrations for companies like Disney, Sony, and Vivendi Universal.
