20 20 Visions

Computer Arts, October 2006 He can't pinpoint the exact moment when he knew that graphic design and illustration were going to take over his life, but for the last four or five years that's increasingly been the case for Edvard Scott. And he's convinced that the main reason for not knowing he'd found his vocation was because it's fun.

Not

that he doesn't take it seriously though. "One of the things that makes graphic communication interesting and fun is the opportunity to create a dialogue or reaction with an observer. To see the response I can create with shapes and colours is a truly astonishing feeling," says Scott. And it seems that it runs in the family too, because Edvard's father is also an artist. Born in Sweden, he would spend a lot of time in his father's studio as a child, and also visit visited a lot of exhibitions. It wasn't until he was older that the passion took hold, but it's hard to imagine that al this didn't have a strong influence.

Working

purely digitally, Scott swears that he's yet to have a creative block, and likes to launch right into his latest piece. But that's perhaps because he's inspired by everything, or, as he likes to call it, "the essence of nonsense."
