We met an old friend of Scott Morse's recently who called him prolific and we couldn't agree more. Scott is an outstanding artist with a brilliant sense of design and never seems to run out of ideas. He's like the Ryan Adams of the art world--he puts out a half a dozen projects a year all while holding down a full-time job at Pixar. Impressive!
We first became aware of Scott through his one-shot, Batman: Room Full of Strangers and Plastic Man run for DC, then we quickly went nuts. Soulwind, Volcanic Revolver, The Barefoot Serpent, Spaghetti Western, the Elektra mini-series and his recent tome of "fast art", Scrap Mettle are all terrific. In 2008, he offers three new Magic Pickle books, a bio book featuring a certain tiger and another Ancient Book too, this time it's Sex & Science.
Our chat with Morse runs the gamut from his recent trip to Italy, growing up in California and going to CalArts, working in animation and just how he gets it all done. Plus, some family talk, a few tips on dealing with publishers and a little bit about his favorite uncle. We had fun chopping it up with Scott; he's an amazing talent who never stops and he's also a really good guy. Check him out everywhere!
