Maybe you didn't recognize Illustrations Pages for a second. No, IP hasn't turned into a medical site overnight. Today we're featuring an extremely talented medical illustrator. Actually, Scott Leighton is a certified medical illustrator (CMI). A CMI is an illustrator who has successfully passed examinations in business practices, ethics, biomedical science, and drawing skills and has undergone a rigorous portfolio review.
To become a certified medical illustrator the artist has to pass a written exam administered by the AMI (The Association of Medical Illustrators) and a portfolio review with some specific requirements in technique and subject matter. But before an illustrator applies for the certification exam they are required to have certain prerequisites. These qualifications are a degree from a recognized college or university program in medical illustration that includes a course in human gross anatomy with hands on dissection; or a minimum of five years full-time work experience as a medical illustrator substantiated by letters of reference from employers and proof of a college-level course in human gross anatomy with hands on dissection. Hey - anything worth having is worth working for. Right?
Scott's illustrations are nothing short of amazing. The technical ability he possesses as an illustrator takes years to develop. In many cases he's illustrating concepts that are not visible to the human eye. And also think about the knowledge he needs to have of human anatomy. These images are not only technical references but amazing pieces of art.<

Wow, in a few short hours, SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD finally opens and Edgar Wright and Bryan Lee O’Malley can stop their incessant promotional wanderings over the face of the earth. In future years, this will always be known as “Scott Pilgrim Week,” a mystical, magical time of love and exploration and kung fu training.
So much has happened, is happening. Some linkie winkins. ABOVE — a super-amazing remake of the live-action SPvsTW trailer using the comics — wow, it really is just like the book.
OH, SPEAKING OF THE MOVIE, The Beat has seen it! And despite all the hype, hype, hype, it was wonderfully charming and fun. WE may have a longer review tomorrow, but for now we give it a “Go see it opening night!” rating. Show the Expendables who’s boss!
The app is free, along with the first 37 pages of the first volume and the Free Comic Book Day comic that’s set between volumes 3 and 4. The first five volumes can be downloaded for $6.99 each, while the sixth and last one costs $11.99. Created by Comixology, the app hits on the same day that the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World video game arrives on the PlayStation Network and, of course, just a few days before Scott Pilgrim vs. the World arrives in theaters.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game — an arcade style 8-bit action romp, went on sale as a Playstation 3 download today. It’s available for XBox 360 on August 25th.
But Scot Pilgrim has Michael Bluth vs. Superman, Captain America, Ann Hog and Max Fischer.
That totally wins in my book.

Matthew, I’m sorry but I’d rather see a movie about a tough guy action hero over and over again than a mumbly teenager.
The Beat said, on 8/11/2010 11:30:00 AM
Christian — Scott Pilgrim is not a mumbly teenager. He’s a self centered 20-something. Get your meme right.
Is is possible to like both Sylvester Stallone AND Scott Pilgrim? AND scrapple?
Christian said, on 8/11/2010 11:47:00 AM
Somehow I just don’t think that I’m in Scott Pilgrim’s demographic.
KET said, on 8/11/2010 11:53:00 AM
Christian, I think you’ve made that completely obvious. Boring reruns of Cobra then for you.
The Beat said, on 8/11/2010 11:57:00 AM
Totally enjoying my new Todd Ingram wallpaper!
Cary Coatney said, on 8/11/2010 12:07:00 PM
Ms Beat – you didn’t mention anything about the four minute animated short that’s airing on Adult Swim.
I think it’s on tomorrow night.
Oh yes, please Blackeye – take a time out. Go out and seek yourself a first and last name.

For my part, I’ll be getting the creases out of my sister’s jeans with a great big irony. And then I’ll go see SCOTT PILGRIM and THE EXPENDABLES, because life is not a pick-one-side MMORPG.
tekende said, on 8/11/2010 1:41:00 PM
Whether I love or hate this movie, I’m fairly certain that the next few weeks are going to be absolute hell as every site and message board is overtaken with people arguing about whether Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is OMG BEST MOVIE EVAR or a HORRIBLE PIECE OF SHIT YOU JUST CAN’T SEE PAST THE HYPE.
In short, the internet reaction is probably going to be Inception X 10.
Christian said, on 8/11/2010 4:29:00 PM
In pure entertainment terms, I honestly don’t think I’d mind seeing Pilgrim. I just don’t have the time nor the monetary resources to go see both flicks.
And an Expendables supporter, I’d also like to voice my outrage over Heidi’s clear bias against what could certainly be the finest cinematic masterpieces of our time. I believe that one day, historians will look back on this weekend and say that Stallone’s movie was the turning point in American culture that ushered in a new generation of happiness and prosperity in the country. This movie will change things for people.
I expect a similar glowing post for the Expendables tomorrow. Or I will be questioning your integrity!
Also, I hear Adidas is proud to support THIS movie.
Joe Lawler said, on 8/11/2010 4:52:00 PM
Expendables had its shot at winning Heidi’s support, but they didn’t go after Gerard Butler.
Christian said, on 8/11/2010 5:28:00 PM
That’s probably because Butler couldn’t hold a candle to Randy Couture.
maggie said, on 8/11/2010 6:10:00 PM
I loved this movie so much I went to 2 screenings in one weeks. I hope people give it all the OMGS EVARS they can muster.

I just don’t see it… especially in New York City. All of those stores will be open at Midnight? Will there be enough critical mass?
charles foster kane said, on 7/19/2010 2:20:00 PM
heard that some people already had gotten copies last week.
Matthew Fabb said, on 7/19/2010 2:41:00 PM
I feel bad for Toronto stores that aren’t the Beguiling. How will any of them compete, when the Beguiling has Bryan O’Malley signing copies, bands playing, retro video games and basically surrounding block around the store involved with the party? I guess at most other Toronto stores will be attracting some of their regulars. Anyways, it should be a lot of fun at Beguiling tonight. I hope Bryan O’Malley is up for it as he tweeted that he was up at 6 am in order to do interviews this morning.
Also as Charles points out some stores who got early shipments for the midnight launch ended up putting them on the shelf right away. Shame on them for jumping the queue, as it put future cool comic events at risk of happening.
Brian Hibbs said, on 7/19/2010 2:45:00 PM
Not 100% of the stores on that list are doing Midnight Releases — of the 4 SF stores listed, as far as I can tell, we’re the only one doing Midnight, everyone else is “just” doing Tuesday release.
So… call stores ahead of time before showing up!

Brian Hibbs is correct, not all of the stores listed are doing the midnight release. My store, Amazing Fantasy in Frankfort IL will have it for sale when we open Tuseday morning at 11am, we are NOT doing the Midnight Release. Thanks all!

Was there any publicity for this BEFORE the Oni blog post on Sunday? If not, that’s a big mistake. And why on a Tuesday? Harry Potter always hit in Friday night / Saturday morning. That way people don’t have to worry about work in the morning.
Ah well… congrats! Hope to see more Midnight Madness!
Matthew Fabb said, on 7/19/2010 5:11:00 PM
The Beguiling has been promoting their event for several weeks now. The event page on Facebook currently has 949 people signed up that they will be attending, with 349 in the maybe category so there will definitely be a big crowd in Toronto.
Also I noticed on the Scott Pilgrim costume rules includes the following: “People who had a character based on them in Scott Pilgrim are not eligible.” LOL!

Wish we’d seen that update before we went downtown for a midnight opening that was very not open.
The Thai food we got afterwards was quite good though.
We recently caught up with the very talented illustrator, Korey Scott. Korey specializes in children's books, amusing characters and educational material. His work has garnered awards such as "Best Children's Book" at the 2007 North Texas Book Festival and the Golden Spur Honor Award from the Texas State Reading Association (TSRA) 2005. When he's not creating his wonderful illustrations for his clients, Korey can be found in schools and libraries teaching and inspiring children of all ages with his art.
So tell us a little bit about Korey Scott the illustrator. How did you become interested in children's illustration?
I think my style of art is naturally geared toward this area. I enjoy making fun, happy, colorful characters that children and adults enjoy seeing. Also, I want my art to be used for educational purposes so that kids can learn and have fun.
Did you know from an early age you wanted to be an illustrator? Who influenced you as a child and prompted you to pursue a career as an artist?
The short version of the story is that when I was born, I started drawing. The longer version is that I don’t know of a time I haven’t been drawing. Being an illustrator is all I have ever wanted to do, except for that one day I wanted to be a policeman. One vivid memory I have was from library class in elementary school. The librarian was reading a story while talking about the Caldecott Medal for illustrators. I think the book was, The Polar Express. “They actually have this as a job?" I thought. “Well, I’ve already started drawing. This is what I want to do!” In the library that day, I knew that I wanted to make illustration my career.
My parents, however, were my biggest influence to becoming an illustrator. They always believed in me and gave me encouragement for my art. I would always draw something and run into the living room and show them. They were the best clients a kid could have. They liked everything I drew. I think this gave me the confidence I needed to keep creating art. Also, my grandfather was an architect. I still use his drafting table today, which was the same table I would use to practice as a kid.
Who are some of your favorite illustrators in the children’s book industry? How have they influenced your own work?
Some of my favorite illustrators from childhood to today are Richard Scarry, Roger Hargreaves - Mr. Books, Stan and Jan Berenstain - Berenstain Bears, and Jim Davis - Garfield. I think these illustrators have influenced my character design style as well as my love for writing stories. They didn’t just draw. They created a world from their own experiences and imaginations. Similarly, when I create characters, I usually have to create a story for them and write down their personalities and attributes. Where do these characters live? What do they do? Who are their friends?

2 Comments on An Interview with Children's Book Illustrator Korey Scott: Connecting With Children Through Art, last added: 4/6/2010
We in OUP UK are all very excited about the new edition of The Oxford Guide to Literary Britain and Ireland, edited by Daniel Hahn and Nicholas Robins, which publishes here today. In the odd spare moment (not that we publicists get many of those!) we have all been looking up references to places we have lived in, or have been to, and we’ve not been disappointed. With patriotic Scottish pleasure, then, I bring you this extract from the book, written by Christopher MacLachlan, which discusses Sir Walter Scott and Scotland.
Scott is usually acknowledged as the father of the historical novel but he might be called the father of the geographical novel too. The Gothic novels of Ann Radcliffe use extended descriptions of scenery but the effect is undermined by the knowledge that she never visited the countries where her fiction is set. Not so with Scott, who repeatedly assures the reader that his places are real, and he has seen them himself. To the thirtieth chapter of Rob Roy(1817), when the hero emerges from his miserable sleeping quarters to view Aberfoil (as Scott spells it) after his first night in the Scottish Highlands, Scott attached a note that ‘the Clachan of Aberfoil now affords a very comfortable little inn’ and that the reader ‘will find himself in the vicinity of the Rev Dr Patrick Grahame… whose urbanity in communicating information on the subject of national antiquities, is scarce exceeded even by the stores of legendary lore which he has accumulated’. But in a later edition Scott added an update: ‘The respectable clergyman alluded to has been dead for some years.’ The reader cannot fail to infer that Scott has personally visited the scene he describes in the novel, and such assurances are scattered through the rest of his work, especially that set in Scotland.
Scott was born in Edinburgh and there, in what he called ‘mine own romantic town,’ he go his education and his profession. In his earliest years, however, he contracted the illness that left him permanently lame and, to recover, was dent to his grandparents’ farm at Sandyknowe, the Borders near Smailholm and its ancient tower-house. There he learnt, mainly from his grandmother, the legends of the Scott family and became enthused by the romance of the Border reivers and the violence and supernatural of the ballads, which he would go on to collect in his first major publication, The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-3). Though he became Clerk to the Court of Session in Edinburgh, his vacations were spent on forays into the Borders and the Highlands, in quest of folklore and history, and he managed to combine his profession with his heritage by becoming Sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire in 1799.
No wonder then that his first major poem, The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), is woven around the Borders landscape, with copious use of place names and central use of the ruins of Melrose Abbey in a scene both topographical and Gothic. Scott foreshadows his later novels in the combination of a journey through accurately described countryside, decorated with local allusions and anecdotes, and striking use of individual locations, to whose fame he adds the literary colouring of his romantic imagination. The effect on the public was strong and lasting. The Lady of the Lake (1810) so enthralled readers with its vision of the Trossachs that they soon became the tourist attraction they remain to this day, with steamer trips on Loch Katrine past Ellen’s Isle, named after the poem’s heroine. Scotland became through Scott the ‘land of the mountain and the flood’ he eulogizes as ‘meet nurse for a poetic child’ in Marmion (1808).
When, in 1814, feeling the rising power of Byron, Scott turned from verse to prose and published Waverley (1814), he began the series of over 30 novels, most set in Scotland, that carry on the combination of fiction and geography found in his poems. Waverley, a novel of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion, presents the principal factions involved not just as historical forces but also as geographical ones. The hero’s introduction to the Highlands is via the Lowlands and the contrast between them. His journey goes back in time but also through different cultures. Scott is heir to Enlightenment views of the progress of society through key stages. Behind the tartan and claymores he indicates the problem facing Fergus MacIvor, his Highland chief, of maintaining a populous clan in a land where resources are scarce and traditionally supplemented by cattle-rustling and blackmail that the modern British state will not longer tolerate. Scott’s sense of place can be full of nostalgia, with his commemoration of past events and his notes on relics and ruins, but the converse is that his is not a static but a dynamic vision. Places are as subject to change as the people who live there.
The economic sinews of Scott’s anatomy of Scotland are perhaps most evident in Rob Roy, where again a young Englishman ventures into remote glens, this time just before the 1715 rebellion, and with a loquacious guide, the Glasgow merchant Bailie Nicol Jarvie. While Frank Osbaldistone, with his poetical pretensions, gives way to somewhat anachronistic feelings of the sublime and the beautiful, Mr Jarvie reminds the reader of the economic facts of life behind the clan turmoils they find themselves in. When, near the end of their adventures, they down Loch Lomond, Frank muses that he ‘could have consented to live and die a lonely hermit in one of the romantic and beautiful islands amongst which our boat glided’, but simultaneously the Bailie is speculating on draining the lake for farming, leaving just enough water for the passage of coal barges.
The ‘Waverley’ novels cover the length and breadth of Scotland, from the Solway Firth in Redgauntlet (1824) to Shetland in The Pirate (1821), from Inveraray in A Legend of Montrose (1819) to the places in the titles of The Fair Maid of Perth (1828) and The Bride of Lammermoor (1818). It is as though Scott followed a programme of novelizing in turn every major region of Scotland. Modern detractors have tried to ridicule the result by naming it ‘Scottland’, a land of makebelieve, but there is truth even in derision and Scott’s image of his native land is still a powerful part of the Scottish scene. Certainly his successors – Stevenson, Buchan, Neil Munro and regional novelists like Lewis Crassic Gibbon and Neil Gunn – often seem to be left colouring in the few blank spaces left in the map of Scotland that Sir Walter drew.
