Damien Scogin
"I still can't quite believe that I can actually be paid money to draw," says Damien. With grandparents who taught him drawing techniques at age 5 and a photgrapher for a father, Damien has been living and breathing art for his entire life. His favorite fruit is the banana, and he is currently very smitten with dark brown and light green. He lives near beautiful Lake Merritt in Oakland with his girlfriend and spends his spare time dreaming about backpacking trips in California's High Sierra.Illustrator for these Magazine Articles
