I am back again and focusing on Scott Gustafson!

Scott Gustafson is an American illustrator, born and raised in Illinois, he took and early loved to drawing; finding inspiration in the form of Walt Disney and Warner Brother's Animation Studios. He went on to attend the Chicago Academy of  Fine Arts, however, due to monetary trouble the school was closed so he was the transferred to Columbia College.

Nowadays Gustafson produces incredible illustrations both anthropomorphic and of humans. He is known for using gouache, water colours and acrylics with stunning results. He has illustrated books such as Peter Pan, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Nutcracker and Eddie: The Lost Youth of Edgar Allen Poe. He's also done projects with DreamWorks, Sunday Evening Posts, The Bradford Exchange and Celestial Seasonings.

Now, here's some pictures!

Titania sleeping in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

John in Peter Pan, such vivid detail, and in the far right you can see Wendy, Michael and Peter.

The Frog Prince: I adore the expression on the little princess's face! It's priceless. Also take note of the tapestry in the back, look at that detail.

The Night Before Christmas

Great idea having the toys go beneath the tree by magic!

 Canvas print of The Muses

The Owl and The Pussycat

Such gorgeous costumes!

 

 

Canvas Print of The Wizard of Oz

So many incredible details!



The Man on The Moon (I am guessing it's another canvas print!)

Love the way Gustafson has drawn his astrological side of the moon.

 

 

Anyway, I hope you all liked these, thank you for reading!

 

I am so sorry for being slack, I'll continue to work on that.
