As a child, Scott Balmer could always be found scribbling away, conjuring up fantastic imagery from futuristic cars to imaginary beasts. The Dundee, Scotland-based illustrator continued his passion for creative invention at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, becoming a highly sought-after and successful freelance illustrator soon after graduation.

When asked what Scott Balmer wanted to be at a young age, he would reply that he wanted to be an inventor, the thought of creating weird and wonderful things appealed to him. This in turn pushed him further into the realm of Art and Design.
