About Scott Alberts
I am a commercial freelance illustrator and graphic designer with a fine arts background. This means that I draw and paint all styles of art and deliver them to customers in ready-to-use formats, and help them use the art in the most profitable and efficient ways. Silkscreen businesses, printers, and newspaper and magazine publishers gave me the experience I needed to go freelance in 2006. I partner with other professionals — marketers, copywriters, web developers, printers and graphic designers — to create “virtual agencies” serving businesses that may not have in-house designers.
As a kid in the Cleveland, Ohio area, my first drawing efforts were copies of Disney characters from comics and books. Creating drawings as gifts for people was my way of asking for approval. In a big way, this continues to be my marketing plan:
Look what I made! Do you like me now!?
After a few years of “undecided” at OSU I entered Columbus College of Art & Design, earning a BFA in Illustration. I’ve been fortunate to have worked in art-related jobs since that time.
