Julien French Easel - Thanks my friend. When are we gonna see more art from you dude?
Kian - Thanks Jon . That means alot coming from a maestro of light and color like yourself!
Patri -too kind my good sir- thanks so much. I am just trying to improve and get better, and I feel I’ve made some baby steps recently. It’s an infinite pursuit, but I guess that is why artists go crazy!
Your work constantly gives me inspiration so keep it coming!

Whats up Loomer? lol That’s awesome that you’re getting some cool gigs. Very cool that you got to do that piece for illuxcon… Have you been there before? I’m curious to know if its worth going to.

Dead Nigel (!) - Thanks so much dude. How is everything going? I’m glad you posted something - I need more DeadMello in my life!
Brun- thanks bud -you’ve been doing amazing work latley. Really inspiring stuff my friend.
Main Sergio - Haha- oh ..who is this loomer! ? Ha - good memory ;) Yeah- I went to the first IlluxCon. It’s awesome…I really loved it. Just hanging out with artists…it’s like a gathering more than a convention. Real intimate and snuggly :)
Davis Palumbis - Thanks my homie! I promise to keep my hands to myself every other night at SDCC :)

Scott, these are lovely. I especially like how those strong rimlights on the angel wings perfectly center to picture.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:55 am
oh yeah, I love da light.
June 23rd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Scotters, nothing more than love for you and your amazing art. You know I’m a fan, but I gotta say that third pic is just way too awesome, probably one of my favorites from you! <3

Beautiful work Scott. Real storytelling!
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:19 pm
hey scoots!
i remember the sketch for that first image from way back last year. i am very glad to see it all painted up now. it looks glorious as do the other two images.
can you share some pics of the originals? sizes? whatevs. i’m would love to get a print or maybe trade sketches. i know i can’t trade oils since mine pale in comparison! :o
looking good friendo!
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Scott!
Gorgeous, m’dear. Your updates make me very happy!!! You busy lil bee you. ;)
June 24th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
You have this incredible quality of telling stories within a still image.
Bravo!

Good to see what you’ve been up to Scott, but these truly do suck.
What if I really turned in to a dick like that? Our whole history of repressed sexual desire right out the window. You know I’d never do that. Turns out, I really do like these after all.

Loren- thanks dude! Wait…they have internets in Australia? :)
Gax-thanks so much. Love your new work !
Vic - you are the best. Thanks so much. That 3rd image was real refreshing to do since it was not really fantasy at all! I was like “hey - no wizards or magic…this is great!” It’s good to mix it up ..keeps it interesting.
Aly- awww man. Thanks dude.
Richie Rich! Yeah - you’ve been there in the trenches with me….I remember whining to you guys not being happy with those sketches :) Yeah -I’ll have to share the originals too…I just try to post fast and get back to working . I do intend to make a solid tutorial / work in progress thingy one day. The time though…..the time. Yeah man - a trade in the future for sure :)
C-MaC - Thanks duder. Why aren’t you updating your blog! WHY?! I miss your sketches :(
Khan - that is the hugest compliment to me. Technical achievements are great, but I think being able to tell a great narrative in an illustration is real power! You made my week man.
Cody Plimpton - Man - that would be awesome if you just ripped into me. I want to be embarrassed and humiliated in public. Is that sick ? It probably has to do with our ….”history” …………?
Thanks man - we should like…hang soon.
