Beck Scassellati
a.k.a. Smee Bucket
I am a graphic designer, illustrator, cartoonist, and writer. Though I dabble in all sorts of arts, I specialize in 2D mediums and especially love comics.
I chose to brand myself as “RAS the Artist” because drawing and designing are more than just a job or a hobby to me. Making art is my natural state.
In 2020, I graduated from Seton Hill University with a BFA in graphic design and a BA in English. I often incorporate my interests with fairy tales, musical theatre, literature, history, and humor in my art. Most of all, I love telling visual stories. Combining design principles with storytelling in a wide variety of art mediums and styles is what I do best.
I make art everywhere I go!
