Few artists take as much pride in having their work referred to as being "naive" or "innocent" as Scott Campbell. In the decade and a half that Scott has been illustrating professionally, he has worked to capture the excitement and joy of drawing like a child. Scott C.'s ability to tug at viewers heart strings and create art through the rose tinted lenses of youth is unparalleled by many of his contemporaries. Although Scott has made several huge achievements in illustration, from his work as art director of Double Fine (an independent game company started by Tim Shafer in San Francisco in 2000) to his illustrated books Amazing Everything and Zombie in Love, Scott is probably best known for his enormous collection of work, Great Showdowns. Great Showdowns perfectly joins together Scott's love of cult films and his endearing water color illustration style to create a huge film scavenger hunt to be viewed both in a gallery setting (at Los Angeles' Gallery 1988) and as a book at home.
FORGE. visited Scott last year to film this interview and he was just as warm and welcoming as his work would suggest. Once I arrived at his apartment in Alphabet City Manhattan, he offered me some water in a custom Double Fine cup, and showed me all of his friend's art that was hanging up on the walls. During the interview Scott talked about his move from San Francisco to New York, what he learned working at Double Fine, and how he chooses films to paint for Great Showdowns.
You can read the entire interview in Issue 3 of FORGE. magazine, out now!
