Scott Menchin – art and illustration

At a very young age, Scott Menchin started using his father's shirt cardboard to paint and draw on. Today, Menchin's lively, digitally rendered art incorporates elements of reality–photographic bits and pieces–that are well integrated into broad, bright cartoon illustrations. His work, with all its stuff, appears frequently in Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times. He is currently working on two picture books he's written, Taking a Bath With the Dog (Candlewick Press, spring 2007) and Flip Flop (Candlewick Press), as well as Bounce by Doreen Cronin (Simon & Schuster) and Ode to Middle C by Alison McGhee (Candlewick Press.) digital
