Scott D Wilson

I was born in Muskogee Oklahoma in 1967, the miscreant only child of X and Y. I insistently avoided schoolwork and instead began to teach myself how to draw. I taught myself how to draw insects, animals, and eventually monsters. This was the complete entirety of my self-tutelage. I currently work in a wide variety of media and styles, yet a strong continual focus on drawing persists. Obsessions with both comparative anatomy and natural history are constant, and are underlying themes in the majority of my work. My short list of art deities are DADO (Miodrag Djuric), Hans Bellmer, Roger Loewig, Fred Deux, and Frederik Ruysch.

I currently live and work in Richmond, CA.

I am self-taught in all my disciplines.
