Scott Jacobs

Scott Jacobs is a well established photo-realistic painter as well as the first licensed Harley-Davidson artist.

Scott began his career in art not with his painting, but by buying a failing gallery at nineteen with money he saved from working odd jobs.At twenty-one, Scott opened Reflections On Canvas Gallery in Westfield, N.J., a gallery that met with much success.

After receiving a set of paints from his wife for Christmas, Scott turned back to creating and now has a body of work to attest to the wisdom of that decision.Scott began by painting people.He has captured the likeness of celebrities in commissioned portraits such as business tycoon Malcom Forbes, supermodels Kim Alexis and Kathy Ireland. Jacobs is also the officially licensed artist for the Marilyn Monroe Estate, creating images using their wine label, Marilyn Merlot.

On the suggestion of a friend, Scott merged his love of motorcycles with his artistic talent and in 1993 became the first officially licensed Harley-Davidson artist painting the images that continue to amaze Harley-Davidson enthusiasts throughout the world.

Scott’s motorcycle work has been featured in VQ Magazine, American Iron, Art Business News, Easy Rider Magazine, Airbrush Action Magazine and more.Jacobs is one of today's most sought after artists selling throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. His work is collected by celebrities such as Peter Fonda, Lorenzo Lamas, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, John Elway, and Karl Malone of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Depending on the size, each of Scott's paintings usually takes more than one hundred hours to complete. Much of the work is done with a brush that is so small, it is like using a pencil point. He has found this to be the only way to render the necessary detail which allows the work to earn the title "Photo-Realistic". He uses both acrylic and oil mediums on canvas, masonite and other surfaces. Jacobs also uses many photographs of a subject, taken from all angles to achieve the depth in his paintings.
