Experience as an artist

Scott launched his illustration career in 1994, drawing cartoons and illustrations for publications of the Office of Research at the University of Guelph, where he also earned his honours B.A. Scott went on to work on the creative team at the safety communications company Creative Options for three years, and then moved on to a freelance career where he worked independently and led teams of artists to efficiently produce large numbers of high-quality illustrations on a tight schedule. Team projects included two graphic novels, a series of 260 illustrations for 3 publications by the Canadian Red Cross, and a series of eight whiteboard animations for the food security organization Feeding Nine Billion. Scott works in Guelph, Ontario, where he lives with his wife, Trina Koster, and their two dogs.
