Ken Scott - His Journey, His Art, and the Future of Longrifle Culture

Ken is an artist and illustrator whose work has an intensely historical, even biographical concept to it. It is conceived out of the place where a number of important influences come together: his life as an artist; his reverence for history; and a personal study of the lives of the naturalists who traveled Colonial America in the 18th century.

I'd like to thank our sponsors for their support:

Ken has always been an artist, but his journey has taken him through several different jobs. From radio DJ to department store advertiser Ken's varied past guides him in his journey to connect with the past. I've always been a fan of Ken's work. Living in the same state, I could always seek out his work at living history and muzzleloading events each year. I'm so excited to share his story with you.

As an artist, Ken sees the objects that I paint through the eyes of a 18th century limner, or traveling artist and naturalist. Ken's art helps him keep a close relationship with the past, both spiritually and physically.
