Brandon James Scott

Brandon is an award-winning Canadian author & artist who makes books and works in animation.

He's the illustrator of over 10 picture books, the latest being A Cure for the Hiccups with Penguin Random House, One Day at the Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea, A Bear, a Fish, and a Fishy Wish, and A Bear, a Bee, and a Honey Tree with Hippo Park, and I Live in a Tree Trunk and I Was Born a Baby with HarperCollins.

His Author-Illustrator debut, The Skeleton and the Cat with HarperCollins, the first in a series of picture books based on his Dead Cat personal art project, arrives next year.

Brandon studied animation at Sheridan College and later joined Guru Studio in Toronto where he's helped build some of the world's biggest animated productions as their Creative Director of Design. He also created his own award-winning Netflix series called Justin Time.

For him, it's all about making art and stories full of wonder, absurdity and heart. Also with bears and cats and skeletons, ideally, when possible.

A born and raised Canadian, he lives with his wife and two children in Burlington, Ontario.
