Approach

Lively Scout works from the middle outwards, seeking compositions that are balanced and complete. Early thumbnails are redrawn on her iPad, then strong-yet-fluid line work gives the image structure while patterns and a palette jammed with reds and pinks add energy and allure. Then, a touch of texture completes the experience.

Style

The Lively Scout style exudes enthusiasm and dynamism. Modern pop, vintage retro and the artist’s own creative vision come together to form something very graphic, very engaging and totally unique.
