Scott Morse

Scott Morse (sometimes known as C. Scott Morse or C. S. Morse) is an animator, filmmaker, and comic book artist/writer. Much of Morse's published work consists of stand-alone graphic novels, although he is perhaps best known for his epic series "Soulwind", a story serialised in a sequence of graphic novels, which was nominated for both the Eisner and Ignatz awards.

His comic book work includes work as illustrator and/or author on the series' "Southpaw", "Magic Pickle", "Plastic Man" (DC Comics), the mini-series "Elektra: Glimpse & Echo" (Marvel), and a three-comic story arc for "Catwoman". Morse also illustrated the first six issues of "", a spin-off of the "Spawn" comic book series. He has contributed to the graphic novels "Cut My Hair" (Oni Press) and "Hellboy, Weird Tales Vol.2" (Dark Horse) among others.

Morse's own graphic novels have been released through a variety of publishing houses, including Oni Press, Dark Horse, Top Shelf Productions and Image Comics. He also adapted the R.L. Stine "Goosebumps" story "The Abominable Snowman of Pasedena" —one of three tales included in the volume "Creepy Creatures"— for Scholastic Press's graphic novel imprint, Graphix. While some of his graphic novels are intended for younger readers, Morse's work typically finds a much larger audience.

Scott Morse was trained at the California Institute of the Arts (commonly known as CalArts), where he majored in Character Animation. In his sophomore year he was hired out to work at Chuck Jones' Film Productions.

In the field of animation, he has worked as a character designer, storyboard artist, and art director for companies such as Disney, Universal, and Cartoon Network. Recently Morse played a large part in the Pixar short film "Your Friend the Rat", which accompanies the 2007 film "Ratatouille" on DVD. This short film marked Pixar's first real 2-D animation project on a short-film scale.
