I really dig tis guy's style. Reminds me a lot of Sam Keith, but a little different, more atmosphere and emotion.

Unfortunately, I can't find his stuff online. Last thing I saw of his was at project gallery some time ago and some stuff he was working on where he lived with Tessar.

Here's Scott's blog: http://scottbelcastro.blogspot.com/

His website, which hasn't been updated in quite a while, seems to have gone offline recently, but in case it comes back up, it was here: http://www.scottbelcastro.com/

In the meantime, you could see a few more of his pieces on my blog, if you want:
http://commandax.blogspot.com/2008/04/scott-belcastros-blue-soul.html

He's just started going in a great new direction at the moment... I bought this piece of his a couple of weeks ago.

Sick, I saw this piece when he was working at it but never got a close look at all of the details, as I felt it may have been rude to do so.

Great interpretation of his work on your blog by the way, especially where he talks about doing a storybook. I really wish he'd do one, even if it was just a really simple story, like some kind of entity just trying to get from metaphorical point a to metaphorical point b.

In a sense there's a lot of narrative already happening in the image.

scott's doing some really great things with his work lately.
we have been discussing a lot about direction and i am finding that he has a lot he wants to say and is only now really about to flourish. i know how exciting it can be to come upon a new direction that works on a personal level and also strike your viewers' fancy. i am definitely excited and blessed to see his stuff on a daily basis and believe me, between the kind of execution he's been showing and the ideas that he has, people will really start to catch onto this guy's work.

splendid.
he keeps the same horizon depth and elements/characters but plays with the horizon colours, as of recent. which he is really good at. dusk, dawn, twilight.

Two great pieces Scott finished recently. His technique is intensely detailed, and a lot of his fine brushwork is invisible on a computer screen. I believe these may still be available at project:gallery.

So gorgeous that I couldnt stop myself from picking it up! ;) I find that Scott's work is definitely such a steal now. He's a good example of a promising artist that needs more exposure to the public.

Btw, thanks for the analysis and links commandax, it kinda inspired me to pick up his work over the others that were available in the show. ;D
