Ohio Born. At age four Scott attempted his first art project by devouring a 10 pack of crayons thus turning his diaper into a Jackson Pollack. At age six he was introduced to the sweet nectar of school paste. At around this same time period he began producing turkey drawings by tracing his hand. At age seven Scott lost his thumb in an unfortunate Big Wheel accident ending his successful "Hand Turkey Period". At age ten Scott ate more paste, however at age eleven he switched to water based paints & modeling clay. Between age twelve to sixteen Scott was in a daze from the paints he had eaten which he found out to be oil based. He did not produce much art during this time which we will call the "Your Sons Not Quit Right Period". At age seventeen Scott had kicked his habits and refined his skills and began to earn money with art for the first time by doing fellow students art projects for lunch money. At age twenty he apparently graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and moved to Florida unbeknownst to himself. Scott still lives in Florida where he enjoys floundering about and painting pretty pictures, and he still eats paste now and again just to remind himself of his roots and how he ended up like this. Some day he hopes not to be famous.
