He seems to be quite talented, yet he did a set of pen and ink drawings for a reprint of Howard Pyle's Robin Hood which I ran across recently which are just bland and awful. Wish there was more info available on him through the web. Dave Interesting.

I want to buy a print- but sadly he has no site, which I can't understand. I recently saw a full display of his classic book covers at b&n and was blown away.

I've been a scratchboard artist for years and I've never seen anyone with such great control of the medium. I wish I knew what brand of board he uses as his lines are so clean, I've yet to be able to come close to it. I’m reading 1602 right now and did a search of Scott on Google and found this blog.

I've personally watched him doing Scratchboard, so Barb from BC, it is truly authentic..and quite incredible I might add.

If the highlights and shadows are still visible, then he's a master of scratchboard. Truthfully it's hard to judge based on the computer image alone.

This is verified by a friend of mine who has worked for him. He does use a computer to colourize and sometimes merges two versions of a piece together if he's not entirely happy with a certain portion of one.
