​Born in the great city of Cleveland, Scott has loved art and nature since going camping and canoeing and taking art classes at the Cleveland Museum of Art as a kid.  Today Scott is a park ranger and professional artist, who has been represented by numerous galleries throughout the country, and has had extensive exhibits of his work from coast to coast.  Scott's work is in permanent collections throughout the world, and this is his first fully illustrated book.  This book also represents his greatest challenge, which is trying to make up for his brother's crappy writing to make this book a complete success.

While earning his degree in Chemistry, a tiny alien creature began to form in Jeffrey’s head, whispering fantastic stories of cosmic wonder.  What started as poetry soon grew in scale and scope, emerging visually as screenplays on the page.  All the while doing medical research, Jeffrey has penned eight feature-length scripts, seven shorts, and has had award-winning acceptance into several film festivals internationally.  “Animal Crackers” marks his triumphant return to where it all started, poetry, being his first publication in print.
