Scott Beaver cuts his own hair.
He lives in Hollywood with his wife and two cats, dividing his spare time between art, hiking, snowboarding and minimum video-gamery. Scott loves the Dodgers, robots and rainy days.
Scott was interested in art from an early age and was encouraged by his parents and friends to pursue it as a career. Out of high school, he concentrated on studying various forms of art, learning about oil painting and charcoal. He found a passion for character animation and began looking for a school that offered courses in it. He was fortunate to find Allan Hancock, a junior college in Santa Maria offering a beginning animation course and promptly enrolled. He first began life drawing there and found it to be one of his most useful tools. Later, Scott studied 2D animation at Cogswell Polytechnic College in Sunnyvale, California. While there, he learned about filmmaking; from storyboarding to final editing and producing a soundtrack. While he finds most pleasure in drawing with a pencil or pen, he is a master of Photoshop and uses it often.
He has since created characters and animated projects in both 2D and stop motion. He has illustrated comic books, tee shirts and children's books. He has been in various group art shows and one solo show. Recently, he has joined with his brother and some close friends to form "arts and grooves," an art and music show that they have held three times, with more in the works.
Scott's influences have mostly been from pop culture. He watched too much television in the eighties, and he gets most of the jokes made on "Family Guy". He has always been fascinated with breakfast cereal characters, clever advertising and Star Wars. He enjoys all forms of animation from Pixar to Brad Neely. His artist heroes are, but not limited to: Robert Williams, Chuck Jones, Glenn Barr, Gary Baseman, Tex Avery, Gary Taxali, Todd Schorr, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tim Biskup, Walt Disney, Ron English, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, John Kricfalusi. Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson. He watches a fair amount of movies but not too much network television. Currently, he is watching Rick and Morty and most of the [adult swim] lineup.
Scott is currently working on new pieces in canvas, acetate, cardboard and whatever else he can get his hands on.
He is always available for freelance work.
