“Scribe” is the nick of American artist Donald Ross who has put his dynamic talents to use creating graffiti wall murals, children’s book illustrations and fine art paintings. He chose the nick Scribe because he incorporates folk tales, fantasy parables and biblical references in his artworks, turning these stories into visual works of art. Scribe brings humor into his paintings by creating characters who not only look funny but who often act out in all the silly, childish ways that humans do.
Monsters, cute characters and often; cute monsters frolic in his paintings and illustrations as though delighted to have finally been given a physical form. Scribe’s characters wouldn’t be out of place in an animated film or as toys. They have a timeless appeal that can be enjoyed by anyone, from children through to adults. Check out Scribe’s website for more information about the artist or to buy monster plushy dolls designed by the artist.
