Bill Ritchie 's comment: Scott contacted me in 2009 because he needed a portable press. After some changes, he renewed his plan and ordered a Pram in 2012, and asked for a little customization to add his gallery and shop logo. Scott is also a professional illustrator, print maker, and past President of The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, and is an alumni of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
