Artist Biography
Katie Shaw is a cartoonist who brings mythological creatures to life in her modern day all ages fantasy comic, Dragon Child. She grew up with a love for animation, illustrated books, and fantasy novels, but Katie wanted to tell her own fantastic stories. Her discovery of independent comics in Elementary School inspired Katie to share her stories in the form of comics. Katie created her own major for Sequential Art and studied under three Japanese manga artists in Tokyo, Japan while on an internship through St. Olaf College, teaching her many valuable techniques she uses to create comics today. She also found a talent for plush and puppet creation after she designed and made one of her dragon characters into a large plush for sale at her first comic convention in October, 2013.
