Scott Thigpen grew up on an isthmus in Alabama known as Guntersville. When he didn’t have pens, pencils and sketchbooks in his hands, he was on his bike. Scott Graduated from Samford University but rather enjoys it when people misheard him and thinking he said “Stanford.” After graduation and a series of dead end jobs, Scott started freelance illustrating for companies like the Wall Street Journal, Dreamworks and Coca Cola. He currently works for UAB and lives in Birmingham with his wife Kate and his two stepchildren, Ethan and Emma.
