Harrisonburg Illustrated

Harrisonburg Illustrated

May 12, 2010 Posted by Scott DuBar Illustration



My latest cartoon map illustration in this month’s issue of Blue Ridge Outdoors features Harrisonburg, Va.

I actually attended JMU out in Harrisonburg for one whole week while I was desperately awaiting confirmation of my acceptance to VCU’s School of the Arts (my first school of choice). The crazy part was that I had applied to JMU quite late, so when I arrived I had to run around and beg professors to let me into their already booked-classes so I wouldn’t get stuck taking things like Bolshevik Romance Poetry of the Industrial Revolution 101 or An Introduction to Rudimentary Basket-Weaving Techniques of Pre-Colonial Java. All of them were kind enough to squeeze me in, only to have me turn around and drop out once I got admitted to VCU. (Man! I am such a JERK!)

Stay tuned…more work is on the way!

    Adore your maps! The whimsical proportions of (wo)man and nature really gives life to scene! I would love to see a Richmond Zine have you do one of the Fan! Your style would be the perfectly capture the unique people, architecture and the scene in general. Or thinking even LARGER, as one of the city’s murals!

    Truly excellent work, my friend!!

  • “I contracted Scott in 2011 to design a large backdrop illustration for a trade show booth that my company was creating for the 2012 New York Toy Fair. Scott did an absolutely fantastic job putting the illustration together (on-time) and completely exceeding all of my expectations. I really enjoyed working with him and plan on working with him again. The quality of his work was great, and everyone that saw the backdrop commented on how great it was. Thanks a lot!”
