To celebrate Craniofacial Awareness Month we will be featuring some of the posts that received the greatest number of hits over the last year. In this post, we profiled artist and philanthropist, Scott Clarke. His creative designs and cartoons have helped CCA in big ways. A portion of the sales of his book, Cher-toons, will be donated to CCA. Please purchase a copy here
CCA: Who are your favorite artists?
SC: MY FAVORITE ARTISTS? Hmmmmmm….I love sooooooo many, I always think everyone else’s work is better than mine and get discouraged! LOL, I don’t think I have a favorite artist … but many styles are inspiring to me!
CCA: What’s your favorite illustration you’re done?
SC: It wasn’t my favorite because I liked the art so much but the one that made it to Cher’s Birthday Cake will always be my shining moment.

SC: What inspires me is people who have nothing and still find the courage to get up every day and smile, Children with mental or physical challenges that move through life without despair and overcome. Elderly people with wisdom, wit and heart to share even after they’ve been brushed aside. I get inspired by those I want to help, even if they don’t need it.
CCA: What other hobbies do you have?
SC: My other hobbies are boring, I enjoy my gym time, I like yard work, I love music and love to sing (wish I could do it more often). I sang with a band years ago. My art keeps me very busy…not much time for other hobbies! LOL.

CCA:What does kindness mean to you?
SC: Kindness to me is making someone simply smile and expecting nothing in return.
SC: My motto, I have a few, but my favorite is “things can’t fall in to place if they don’t fall apart first”
CCA: Why did you agree to help CCA?
SC: I had never heard off CCA until I saw the connection Cher had with the organization. Once I learned of it I began to look at it more in depth. Having a young daughter myself my heart was hooked on the organization. My daughter had a cyst in her face as a child, nothing too severe, but I remember the difficult time she had and what she went thru before it was removed. Once again it wasn’t anything so severe that it was life altering but it brought me even closer to CCA and help me see just a small bit of what the parents and children must go through. I wanted to help, and the best way for me to help is to use my gifts (my art) to help with awareness and acceptance. Since I’ve begun sharing my talents with CCA I’ve grown to love these kids I’ve never met!

CCA: Name 5 things you'd like to do before you die?
SC: Hmmmm….I’d love to see a Broadway Show (no I’ve never seen one), I’d love to sing again, I’d love to get in to inspirational speaking (I survived when I don’t think I was supposed to, and I’d love to help others see they can too), I want an art degree (but I don’t feel like doing the required courses part), I use to say I WANT TO MEET CHER BEFORE I DIE, but NOW I think to myself she should wanna meet me! HAHA!
