	Jack Scott, Archeological Illustrator and Calligrapher Jack Scott, Archeological Illustrator and Calligrapher A Renaissance man in the 21st century, Jack's education and talents are reflected in the Image Pilots lettering and logo. Jack's archeological illustrations are sought by museums and archeologists the world over. The son of two pianists and music teachers, he went to college with the idea of becoming an archaeologist...earning a degree with majors in both anthropology and philosophy from the University of Illinois in Urbana. He then decided to study flute (with the idea of becoming a jazz player) and lute with private teachers. He took a calligraphy class at the Rhode Island School of Design in order to learn how to make good copies of lute music...and kept doing calligraphy. He managed to get into doing production artwork in art studios in order to support himself while he studied music. The art business stuck. All this time he actually missed archaeology, so he decided to learn pen and ink technique and become an archaeological illustrator. Luckily, everything worked (with a few bumps along the road) and he now works in each of these disciplines. Calligraphy jobs range from membership certificates to elaborate pieces with gold and many colors. He probably won't ever get rich at any of this, but it certainly keeps life interesting.
