Nine reasons you should buy Scott Hubbard's art.

1. It supports local art. Local art is important, it just is. Usually it is the creative types in a community, either directly, through charity involvement, or indirectly, through inspiring those with influence, that move the culture forward. Face it, you are influenced by art in one form or another. Sadly guys and gals like Scott, and his wife Jenni, will go by largely unnoticed except by the few that are inspired and influenced by their art. It is important to support local artist, not necessarily to spread their own agendas as some may think, but to spread beauty. Beauty inspires and energized anyone and everyone from all walks of life.

2. It supports a family. Scott is not a "starving artist", he works full time and supports his wife and three boys (Evan, Koji, Wiley). His art suppliments his hard work. You wouldn't be paying someone to sit around and whine and shun their responsibilities for the sake of their "art". In reality it would be awesome if Scott could work full time arting it up, but he can't do that without your support. Scott uses his art primarily to help take care of, and serve his family, and secondly his community. In all my chats with Scott about art, it always drifts back to using art to help people.

3. Each piece is customizable. The piece my wife commissioned for my birthday was made specifically with me in mind. I love rock climbing, and Scott nailed it! My heart lept when my wife have it to me.

4. Incredible detail.  If you look closely at my original Scott Hubbard art, you'll begin to notice terrific detail. The climbing equipment in the belt, the way the climbers foot is bent, is all incredibly accurate. Most impressive is the rock formation in the background, it is an actual rock formation you can visit at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky,  and I was instantly able to recognize it. "That's Chimney Rock!"

5. Each piece is unique and one of a kind. Even if someone where to request the exact same picture as you, there is absolutely no way that any two pieces can be exactly 100% the same. If anything imagine how impossible it would be to find the exact same type of metal to draw your picture on. There is no way you can mad produce these babies, each one has to be made to order.

6. It's just plain awesome.  'Nuff said.

7. It honors the talent involved. With the exception of an occasional straight edge, all of Scott's pieces are hand drawn. I was sitting next to Scott at a local event here in our beloved city. He took out his pen and scrape metal and began to draw the silhouette of the skyline in front of us, using nothing but his eye and his amazing talent.

8. It is environmentally friendly. Scott's canvas of choice is reclaimed pieces of scrap metal. Discarded for whatever reason, Scott reuses these panels for the unique look they give each piece.

9. Did I mention that they are just awesome?
