With equal parts style, humor, and insight, Scott C. has delighted an international fanbase with his unique watercolor paintings, illustrations, and drawings. Amazing Everything: The Art of Scott C. is his first monograph, the best and most imaginative works of art in his emerging career. Admirers and collectors seek out Scott C.'s appearances at such diverse venues as Comic-Con in San Diego and Galerie Arludik in Paris to see his unusual depictions of pop-culture subjects and original creations: Victorian-era dinosaurs at high tea; lumberjacks and their sometimes-awkward relationship with trees; and ninjas lounging in their living room at home. These and other reflections of Scott C.'s artistic vision have kept him on the radar of such pop-culture trend outlets as Flavorpill and Hi-Fructose.

Praise for this book

"Scott Campbell really is some kind of genius."
Mike Mignola, creator of "Hellboy"

"The best thing about Scott's work is that it's so damn cute, clever, and funny! It's the perfect combination of whimsy and weird that make these adorable little scenes play out with such witty and awkward social commentary."
Tara McPherson, artist

"I tried to pull together the essence of Scott C. once, to make a perfume called 'Essence of Scott C.' I mixed together extreme pleasantness, enthusiasm for beverages and other things, and a dash of somber, far-away looks. It smelled terrible. Amazing Everything does it much better."
Tim Schafer, president of Double Fine Productions

John Martz, "DRAWN!"
