Work Spotlight: Scott DuBar’s dream job for Brain Quest
For this week’s Work Spotlight, the Directory of Illustration is excited to highlight recent work from Scott DuBar.
Illustrator: Scott DuBar
Client: Brain Quest
Project: Brain Quest 30th Anniversary Artwork
From the Artist: “I recently had the honor of contributing all-new artwork for the Brain Quest 30th anniversary series of bestselling workbooks and deck cards. I completed over 2,500 spot illustrations, half and full-page illustrations, and four fold-out poster illustrations!
The Brain Quest series includes kids from age two all the way up to age twelve, which provided me with a fair amount of variety in terms of drawing style and subject matter. From exotic creatures and landmarks, to Model Ts and spaceships, I was constantly kept on my toes as an illustrator!
This was truly a dream project for me. The magnitude of the project didn’t fully sink in, however, until I paid a visit to Barnes and Noble and saw a display of all the workbooks and deck cards. Seeing a whole shelf display filled with Brain Quest products with my artwork in all of them was an amazing moment.
Big, heartfelt thanks to Dawn and Kevin from Fan Works Design, Art Director Erica Green, and the great folks at Brain Quest and Workman Publishing for bringing me on board and being so great to work with!”
