Hi, I’m Langston!
I want to create work that reminds kids (and adults) that life is always worth living, even when you face hardship, pain, grief, and injustice. These are scary things to face, which makes the message all the more necessary. I want to be honest and make work that resonates with our experiences of the world, but also is hopeful, empowering, and encouraging to those who read it

@RUBYVANCE101: Hi! Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it :') I'm glad the comic resonated so much with you! It is very heartfelt and earnest and very much not the normal cynical stuff you find online, so I'm glad it found a home with you. :) To be honest, I didn't think about the atmosphere much when creating the story . . . I guess it came together naturally. Somewhere between Vanessa's own emotions, songwriting, courage and empathy; and her boyfriend's gentle encouragement; and Parvana's vulnerability and compassion (and the style - very cartoony manga lol) the atmosphere kinda came to life on its own. I love that you used "patient" to describe the story . . . given it is only 6 pages, I was worried it might feel rushed . . . but I'm so glad the pacing and story felt strong. Thanks so much for sharing, my friend! Take care 🫶🏾
Your storytelling feels very genuine that sincerity is rare and it shows. The atmosphere coming together naturally makes perfect sense, because it really does read like something born from trust and emotional clarity rather than over calculation. The patience I felt wasn’t about length or pacing at all it was emotional patience. You gave the characters room to feel and let the reader lean in rather than be pulled. It’s beautiful work. Looking forward to whatever you create next.
Btw I have an question did you draw and write the comic by yourself or commission someone for it?And when I'm reading this comic some thoughts come in my mind related to draw. But I would really loved to draw the comic for you within my good price
