Technical
accuracy and attention to detail are the strongest characteristics of
Scotty's style.
 example of Scotty's detailed pointillism technique |
The sharp
contrasts and delicate shading create in the viewer the same excitement
that Scotty feels for his trains. Scotty's works have been avidly collected
ever since the release of his first of the Southern Pacific caboose #1212
in 1987. His works, including historic American railroads, short lines,
narrow gauge and modern diesel equipment, and he also displays them at
railroad and art shows throughout the nation. During his travels Scotty
frequently spends time at trackside photographing equipment and adding
to his photo collection which is the basis for his drawings.
Each original
piece of artwork is painstakingly created using pen and ink. Working under
a 
magnifying
glass, Scotty uses a very fine pointed technical drawing pen and a process
called pointillism. This involves many thousands of dots of ink and no
lines to complete a drawing. Each drawing is carefully reproduced on high
quality, acid neutral paper by lithographic printing process, then embossed
with Scotty's signature.
