Laura Jean Shannon or LJ, as she is known by her peers, is currently serving as the Super Hero/Specialty Costume Designer as well as Associate Producer for the smash hit, THE BOYS based on Garth Ennis' Graphic novels for Amazon and Sony, as well as the much anticipated spin off GEN V.
In the past six years, LJ has carved a niche out with her amazing team, designing and building Superheroes, Villains, Robots and Creatures of all kinds. Their work can be seen in practically built mechanized, illuminated and fully functional creations on hit shows including, BLACK LIGHTNING,TITANS, DOOM PATROL and STARGIRL for DC comics and Warner Brothers.
LJ has enjoyed helping realize the vision for several other TV projects including the feminist period drama GOOD GIRLS REVOLT, the Science Fiction anthology PHILLIP K. DICK: ELECTRIC DREAMS and the pilots for PREACHER and FUTUREMAN.
Shannon's recent film credits include: RED ONE and JUMANJI, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, directed by Jake Kasdan as well as JUNGLE BOOK, CHEF and IRON MAN, all directed by Jon Favreau. The latter earned Shannon a nomination for The Costume Design Guild Award for Excellence in Contemporary Film Design.
Other films she has designed include: TWO GUNS, directed by Baltazar Kormakur, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, directed by Edgar Wright; and many more.
Shannon's work has a wide range. She began her career in NYC designing indie cult classics such as REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, directed by Darren Aronofsky; THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, directed by Rose Troche and MADE, directed by Jon Favreau. Over the years she has had the pleasure of designing many genres including family favorites like ZATHURA and ELF, which afforded Shannon a spot on the prestigious costume exhibition "50 Designers/50 Costumes: Concept to Character," curated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Shannon enjoys working all over the globe and calls a farm in central New York her home, which she shares with her wonderful family, furry, feathered and flesh.
