I’m sorry how talented is this family?? You’re telling me his son just made that cosplay one summer?!?! That’s insane

"in a fit of boredom, i just pulled out a soldering iron" is such a wild line

[@corpsehandler5321]

that sounds like some shit i'd say, but i also have access to a woodburning kit and mod podge, so.

I don't believe he didn't already know what a soldering iron on leather would do

[@tumblingartist]

I’d like to imagine that he just pulled the soldering iron out of thin air like a cartoon

[@dud3655]

That's how we got to this point, some dude was bored and started banging two rocks together

[@saowerpatchkidzz]

It’s restoring my faith in humans to see a father who isn’t ashamed of his son who enjoys dressing up and making absolutely AMAZING outfits for others to see online.

[@ssavaart]

I honestly can't imagine parents not enjoying their kids cosplaying. It's SO cool!

[@flamoof7255]

[@aaronmazur8056]

This man said he was bored and decided to make a masterpiece. Scott is an absolute treasure to us and needs to be defended from anything. But I don't think he'd ever need defending. There's not a person on this earth that could somehow have a problem with him. I wish he would have been in my family, like the really cool uncle.

Aha so the artistic talent does run in the genes! It just manifests differently. That’s an impressive cosplay

[@BlueberryBumblebees]

Everyone in my family plays an instrument, and all the men draw, and have some sort of physical art talent, like wood working, whittling, or sculpting. As it turns out, I’m not a great musician, but I can do other stuff.

I love your son's costume! 😍 it's so cool! And the art cover looks amazing

[@TurtZW1]

YES.

[@ssavaart]

Thank you so much!!

[@sunrisemcash]

If my father came anywhere near my artwork with a iron stick, I would immediately start crying. But the results are very good. Always stay happy together. Keep the happy father-son bond intact, always. Never do the mistake that my grandfather did.

[@ven1s0n]

As someone who has made many leatherbound journals and sketchbooks, what I find really cool is that the leatherwork on yours is a sleeve instead of a bound book, so you can slip it on whatever sketchbook you're using rather than leaving it to dust once you've finished a sketchbook. Great design, props to your son!

[@ssavaart]

Thanks

[@maxwellgrimsley]

I made my cover out of yarn. I crocheted it all, made it extra durable, and finished it off by sewing a cute button, crocheting little flowers for it, and adding a pin to it. To this day it makes me so happy and excited to look at. I managed to make art on top of art, and I’ll never not be proud of that. 💜

[@DistantLoner]

This gave me an idea; I wonder if it's possible to crochet a book where each page is a swatch of a different pattern. Then maybe there could be a pocket with a written pattern.

[@maxwellgrimsley]

@@DistantLonerthat’s SO smart! It’s definitely doable for sure. It would be great if you’re a teacher.

[@pokemonyugiohmettaton]

You definitely made the cover “you” It fits with your style and it’s kinda like your own mark :)

[@valleyluvsU]

it’s amazing!! the thought, care, and fun you put into your art is what makes your art, yours!!

[@pausantimor5941]

Thought it was a TF2 costume for a second

[@wegotthechoccies]

Who isn't insanely talented in this family?? It must be amazing to be able to collaborate with everyone. Your sketchbook is beautiful

[@sonofthesea9184]

Pretty sure too that if he has a child who "is not talented" in anything, he would still be very supportive

[@jetrifle4209]

I'm more impressed with how his son sew a whole sketchbook cover together so clean

[@Unmatchedpowerofthesun]

It seems your son is a tf2 fan, he has good taste

[@jetrifle4209]

Had nothing yo do with tf2

[@Syamfprch]

​@@jetrifle4209I assume it's because his cosplay looks like a RED pyro wearing a gibus.

[@searece]

"I just wanted to see what would happen." Me with most of my life

[@Sprite_thefilmnerd]

The fact this guy didn’t only make this himself, but got his own son to help. This family is one of incredible creativity and cooperation that I someday hope to have

[@SilentRaven8]

The fact you can take it off n change the sketchbook itself when it gets full is best part

[@GoingSwimmingly]

The fact that this whole thing was a collaboration of sorts makes it much cooler if you ask me! Not my whole family draws, only me and my sister

[@lunamoon1239]

More than anything, I love it when my supplies are an integrated part of my story. When they have a whole chapter of my story dedicated to them. It's definitely my absolute favorite part of being an artist.

[@dylancastellanos87]

You made an amazing sketchbook cover out of boredom? I can't even draw a stick figure when I'm bored.

[@Foxx-777]

Thank you Scott for all the stuff you've made you have inspired me to actually try harder

[@necrozmadarkrai8940]

Silly, stupid, and unimpressive??? You told a wonderful story about a creative spark you and your son shared. A work of art meant to hold a mind full of creativity. That is something you and your son made together and although the cover might not be as special to us as it is to you, sharing this story with us makes it special to us too :)

[@charla2026]

This is an amazing story to me and your family is amazingly talented!! 🙂

[@LeoSV_dinosarecool_yourmom]

I always wanted to know how you got that cover! And your son's costume is just epic

[@lydiastormwood3]

I honestly think the best way to brand your sketchbooks, is with more art on the cover. Doesn't matter what the cover is made of.

[@sonjulliette]

My traveling sketchbooks are actually made by hand on my house so I understand when you play around with some materials and end with a genuine piece of unique art.

[@Remuku]

This is so cool TT Talent and artness just runs in family couse man that costume is so amazing

I’ve kinda done something like this My mom had to get leather for a show she was doing so I used the scraps and just sewed it with ribbon into a bag! The only experience I’ve had was sewing with my grandma with a sewing machine but I sewed with my hands and ribbon.

[@Karkalf]

I remember when you first posted it, it was the video that I found you by! You're a really great artist!

That “silly, stupid and unimpressive story” will one day be heck of an anecdote passed down to whoever ends up with this, well, technically future heirloom. This a great moment between father and son and a really amazing tale for your future kin. Thanks for sharing with us!

You can also use a soldering iron on genuine leather and make some really cool stuff and etching. Hope someone can use this information 🤞🏽

Dude, creativity and skill truly runs in the family!! That's such a cool cover for a notebook, love it! and that plague doctor cosplay is awesome!

[@phillipnewby3329]

This is actually a form of art called pyrography, it's the art of burning into things like paper, wood, leather and suede. And for this to be your first attempt at pyrography I am unbelievably jealous, mine was on wood and was a straight lined rose, which looked terrible. I would love to see you trying your hand at woodburning pyrography.
