About Hand Drawn Tech

And Scott Bedford - Creator, Illustrator, Author

First Steps

Scott has drawn machines, contraptions and gadgets for as long as he can remember. As a child, the Wacky Races and Catch the Pigeon cartoons left a lasting impression, not Dick Dastardly and Mutley, but rather the wacky cars and aeroplanes.

Early Accolades

Aged 8, Scott entered a national art competition sponsored by Kraft cheeses. He won his age category with an inventive drawing of a cheese factory, boasting a Rude Goldberg style production line (his prize was a visit to children's TV art icon, Tony Hart, at the BBC's Bristol studios).

Professional Accolades
