About Me

Name: Scott Holmes

Location: Watson, MO, United States

I'm from a small town, 139 people if that. I had to look within to entertain, because there was nothing much to do without driving a few miles. So I started a collection of VHS movies that would get me through the 3 channel era of my small town. This is what gave me my love for movies no doubt. I was (and still am when meeting someone the first time) the quiet guy, never saying much. I usually won't shut up when I get to know you.

Toonfest 08

Hey all, I recently went to the Toonfest in Marceline Missouri, and had an amazing time!
I got to sit through some great presentations by Jan Eliot, Dave Coverly, Tom Richmond, Greg Evans, and Michael Jantze.
I learned a lot, and had tons of fun. I really feel inspired by the great talent at Marceline's Toonfest. The best part is that all these people are so nice and easy to hang with. I had some artwork in the gallery as well, which was kind of surreal. My art hanging next to art by so many famous great cartoonists. :)
Greatest weekend I've had in a good while, feel really good about being a cartoonist. Yay!
