About Me

I am an artist whose work has an intensely historical, even biographical concept to it. I see the objects that I paint through the eyes of a 18th century artist and craftsman. My goal as an artist is to create every item with an historical past with an aged look and feel to it. I made a pouch for the Leonardo DeCaprio movie, The Revenant" as well as the pouch for Billie Bob Thornton (Davey Crockett) for the movie The Alamo, and also provided other props for this movie. Early American Life magazine thrice named me one of the top craftsmen in America for both my paintings and my leatherwork.. My pouches were rated for their quality workmanship, fidelity to period design and construction techniques by judges expert in museum-quality antiques and fine, high-end reproductions. My work has also been featured in videos, tv documentaries and numerous times in magazines and on their covers. Thank you for visiting my blog.

KEN SCOTT MO•MEN•TO MO•RI  HUNTING  POUCH. 

MEMENTO MORI IS AN OBJECT 

SERVING AS A REMINDER OF DEATH...THE INEVIBILITY OF  OUR OWN MORTALITY.

SUCH AS A SKULL OR A DEATH’S HEAD ON A GRAVESTONE.

I started with sturdy, supple leather to create this generously-proportioned pouch.

Pouches like this were tested in the colonies and backcountry this great land before we were a nation.

It’s simply the perfect pouch with enough room and for carrying the items you need to service and fire

that rifle, fowler or smooth rifle. Hand forged buckle on adjustable strap.
