Scott McDougall is a self-taught American illustrator and artist who has been working professionally since 1972. His first commissions were in 1970 doing hand lettered and illustrated concert posters, and while he is known most recently for his similarly executed Grateful Dead illustrations, in between he left a permanent stamp on video game history.
