struck my eye as being reminiscent of some of the characters Maurice Sendak created in
‘Where the Wild Things Are.’ Our entire company loved them! Keep up the good work!”
- Steve Quinn, Company Manager, Wicked Tour

talented and creative illustrator.”
Abby Robey, Sales & Marketing at Xuron Corporation

“Scott is a true ‘artist’ in every sense of the
word. He did an excellent job creating the Tinker
Character for my next book. His ability to take
my idea from concept to delivery based off
rudimentary descriptors amazed me and the
end result was perfect. He was more than willing
to make adjustments at my request and his
pricing was quite reasonable. Scott’s quite the
professional and artist.”
Heather Whittaker, Motivational Speaker

Scott’s one of the best in his field. No matter
how difficult the illustration project I throw at
him, he manages to come up with the perfect
result. I’m always impressed by his craft. Best
yet, he’s just a good person and pleasure to
work with.
Brad Rutta, Director of Marketing at Noel Group
“Working with Scott has been one of the better
things I have done. We came up with the design
of the “Enjoy the Fight” fish. After looking at
Scott’s work we hired him to draw up the first
fish. With the talents Scott was able to put the
project on paper and make it come alive. We are
still working with Scott on other fish and plan on
using him again.
Scott also helped set up the borders for the
website that gave it some personal touches. The
art work is outstanding and I would recommend
him for your next project.”
Louis Woods, Wolf River Outfitters

on paper to a living, breathing, exciting image.
Now everybody loves TaxxDog and wants his
protection!”
JeanMarie Hinds, Owner, TaxxDog, Appleton, WI
I love to work with Scott because his vision
matches my creativity. When you can have a
designer take your verbal ideas and make them
come to life on paper it is magic. Scott and
I have worked on multiple projects and I am
always more than pleased with the results. Rare
is the designer who is still actually a true artist
that can take pencil to paper and then formulate
that image into a digital masterpiece. I tell Scott
this is what I see and he creates it. If you are
looking for a graphic designer who is a true
artist then you need Scott. He is also one of the
most ethical and honest people you will work
with. Scott always delivers 110% with a little extra
artistic flair.
Dawn Nowakowski, Member Services at
Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce
Mr. Alberts created for us an intricate, artistic
and exquisite set panel for our 2005 Christmas
musical production. Our audience rated it one of
the higher elements of the production this year.
It was professional in all aspects, eye catching
and drew people into our show.
Mr. Alberts was a true professional in our
working relationship. He presented his personal
vision and was also willing to work with us to
help the design be a true team effort. Thank you
Scott for your wonderful contribution!

I am writing today to thank you for the great
creative work you did on the logo for Career
Works Fox Valley. After listening to the description
of what I wanted to convey, you were able to
create something that speaks to optimism,
sensibility and the promise of a better tomorrow.
Thank you so much for being a great listener
and a creative genius.
Tom Sather, Career Works Fox Valley
Scott is loaded with talent and his portfolio
is proof of it. His illustrations are unique,
imaginative, and simply amazing. Scott also
excels in graphic design and is one of the most
detailed designers I know. I give him my highest
recommendation!
Rob Marnocha,
Account Manager, OEC Graphics
“Scott is an incredible, talented artist and I so
enjoy his energy. He’s dedicated to exceeding his
clients’ expectations and he amazes anyone who
has seen his work. Plus, he’s a lot of fun. I highly
recommend Scott for your artistic and design
needs. He, in fact, produced my logo and has
done so for many business owners and events.”
Carolyn Dargevics, Business owner, consultant,
writer, Your Publishing Source LLC
Don’t for an instant think that Scott is a “basic
graphic designer.” He’s truly an artist, illustrator
and yes, a talented graphic designer who
approaches things from a fresh perspective.
Interesting and unique work - he’ll make you or
your clients stand out!
Susan Finco, Owner,

“There are many reasons why I recommend
Scott Alberts:
1. Scott is fun to work with. He has a great open
personality that allows you to explain your needs
to him in a very general or specific manner. The
result is that he “gets” what you are trying to say.
2. Scott translates needs and explanations
into great rough concepts that can be easily
manipulated into refined graphics
3. Scott keeps you involved with the process so
that he efficiently gets you what you need and
at the same time you can mold the final product
with him.
4. Technically, Scott has what is needed to get
images in whatever technology package you
need for web, print....
I wholly recommend Scott Alberts.
