My old friends at Galerie Arludik in Paris are doing a Nightmare Before Christmas Tribute Exhibition on Tuesday Feb 28th! You should visit, if you live in Paris.  It is right near Notre Dame Cathedral and it is the best.

Here is the painting that i have submitted to the show.

It is called “Jack Being Comfortable”.

Here we are reading Zombie In Love with everyone at the Barnes&Noble in Princeton, NJ…

As you can see, we were in Winnie The Pooh’s forest, so it was incredibly relaxing. A nice place to draw Zombie dogs and other zombie sorts of things…

The kids helped me come up with names for all the worms…

This awesome fellow had some amazing tattoos on his arm that i totally recognized…

The Barnes & Noble in Upper East Side was way bigger with way more kids running around getting excited about life in general. It was a little more difficult entertaining those excitable kids….

One sweet girl showed me all of her comics and drawings that she had made.  She gave me this one, suggesting what my blowfish might be saying to the miso soup dude…

Last week, i visited Pratt in Brooklyn and spoke with these amazing students.  here they are waving and sitting…

One student drew this super bright and awesome version of Cryspin from Psychonauts.  I should check and make sure i spelled that right…

At Books & Greetings this past weekend, some little fellows showed us how to draw Kirby in various ways.  Kirby is round and sometimes made of lava or clouds or whatever…

Here is the finished drawing signed by the artists…

Kate B. came with me on many of these excursions and documented the children and some of the conversations we had together.  They are the best…

Anywho, that was super fun.  i am looking forward to more of those visits!  Also, i will post my upcoming convention schedule, starting with Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle on March 30-31st!  

thanks!!

Hi, everybody!  there are a few more little visits coming up this week and then i will done with visits for a spell.  (…until the convention season starts up again)

They are:

February 15 

Pratt Visit @ 8pm, Pratt Institute Brooklyn, NY

You guys.  This is an unbelievable thing.

Overnight, through Kickstarter, the fans of Double Fine Productions have exceeded the goal for funding the next amazing game.  I cannot believe how wonderful the fans have been to Double Fine through the years.  It makes tears happen on my face. I am proud to have been a part of the Double Fine family all these years.

This particular project is rules, you guys.  Because it is getting back to the adventure game roots!  But also, it involves YOU the COMMUNITY! Watch the video for it to see what i mean.  Backers are involved in the process and the documentary they are making along the way will shed light on the awesome process that goes into making a game.  Oh, man, this is going to be the best.

here is the Kickstarter page: DOUBLE FINE ADVENTURE

so anyway, the higher it goes over the goal means the more platforms it will be for and the better the game will be. So you can still be a part of it, if you want.

Thank you, everyone, who has ever supported Double Fine through these years.  You are great people.

this will seriously rule, you guys.  damn.

love, scott c.

Here is how my day went:

I am happy to mention to you that Zombie In Love was accepted into the Society of Illustrators 54 Book Show!  Specifically, Mortimer chilling at home.

The show is this Friday in Manhattan if you would like to go!  But it costs money… be warned.

SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS 54: Book and Editorial Exhibition

Friday, February 3rd, 6pm

Exhibit on displayJanuary 25th through February 18th

128 East 63rd Street

February is almost upon us!  which means more PUBLIC APPEARANCES!  Mostly these are geared towards Valentines Day because they are Zombie In Love visits.  I will be doing some drawing demos and some craft times and some talking.  I will also be visiting Pratt to do a little talk to the students.  So if you are a student there, you should come.  or a teacher or anything else really.  go crazy. The Books&Greetings will be geared towards Amazing Everything probably.

So here is the schedule:

Big announcement, world!  My second illustrated children’s book is now available in stores all over the place!  Online and real life stores!

it is called:

East Dragon, West Dragon

story by Robyn Eversole

pictures by Scott Campbell

It is the story of two dragons that live on opposite sides of the world. They enjoy their opposite sides of the world until the day the West Dragon decides to send his knights and kings away to get some peace and quiet in his cave. So many crazy things happen to everybody and finally the two dragons meet. And you can imagine what might happen at that point.  But you can also just read it and find out.

It received a star review from Kirkus, so that is sweet news. check it out HERE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!  it has started!  Hope you made it!  it’s DAY 2 so far.
