The story of Scott Aicher and Cornbone Studios and how I got here.

My family and I currently live in the Texas Hill Country in The Good ol’ United States of America. We left our home where I was born and raised in Southern California, after losing family members and the wild restrictions during the crazy time we all lived through recently. My wife took an early retirement from teaching. We sold what we had and gathered all our family members to put down roots in Texas near our nephew and his wife. They took a cross country trip to find a place for us all to settle in together.

My health had become a concern at the time due to my weight. My family got behind me and got us to Texas. My doctor here suggested a fitness class and I have been going to it pretty regularly. The folks there are very kind and supportive. I’m gaining back mobility instead of pounds. Getting better sleep in the clean air here. Things are getting better every day.

So www.cornbonestudios.com is a new start.

If you have followed me you know I had my own art studio shop called Pop Kustom Shoppe at a craft mall in San Pedro, CA. You could find me there a few weekdays and weekends at my shop booth space.

(My old website www.popkustomshoppe.com name will still get you to my website so y’all know) You can still email me (Scott) at popkustomshoppe@gmail.com

It’s still my email address. The contact section here works too if you want to reach me.

So anyhoo, you may be wondering…. What’s a Cornbone? Well, when I was very young my grandmother used to take me for weekends at her place. On Saturday mornings we went to a roadside farm stand and got fresh corn for dinner. She also made a great German potato salad too. After dinner my Grandfather would break up the corn cobs and feed them to his German Shepherd, Duke.

He let me give them to him and told me, he will like you if you give them to him. 

I did not know they were called cobs and I would say, “time to give Duke those Cornbones!” Duke liked me so much he would let me ride on his back. He was a great dog.

I will never forget my family and all of them playing cards all day on summer weekends.

I did a lot of artwork over the years for the garment apparel industry and big entertainment companies. The merchandise was sold in amusement parks y’all  know. I made art for years for a surf wear company, made art for punk rock record labels, and eventually sold my paintings in art galleries.

Lately, I have been illustrating books for a publisher and making art pretty much every day I can. I’m still drawing comics and making paintings all the time. Lots to share in the days ahead on this website. So,don’t go too far and remember to check back now and then.

I still love a big cup of black coffee all day long. I gave up the Pop Tarts and American Cheese. Still love Vinyl Records and when I can I get a new one now and then. Still love art supplies. Kind of into birdwatching now with my wife. I got her a book on Texas Birds and we both try to find different ones in the backyard.

With the love I have received from my family,I’ve finally became aware Jesus Christ has looked over me and my faith in him has been restored.

So to y’all who are still here enjoying art with me,I Thank You and may God Bless You.

Happy Trails and Ciao For Now, Scott Aicher
