![]() Phil Scroggs grew up in Augusta, Georgia, where he feasted on large portions of Saturday morning television and Atari video games. After double-majoring in Graphic Design and Photography at the University of Georgia, Phil started his career in Atlanta as a desktop publisher. After a few years in the printing business, he transitioned into a software instructor for various Atlanta training centers, including New Horizons, Portofolio Center and Emory University. In June of 2000, Phil drove across the country to set up shop in Seattle. Fueled by caffeine and pop culture, he currently spends his time as an illustrator and web designer. His digital work is created in Adobe Illustrator. But, he sometimes also incorporates elements from Photoshop. In his non-digital art, Phil uses acrylic paint on canvas and found objects. Here again, he sometimes features his photographs in mixed media pieces. Phil's work is influenced by such pop art icons as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. It often features recycled materials and found objects, as seen in southern folk art.
