This art was purchased directly from the artist and professionally framed by the Scott Jacobs Studio. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. The piece is titled, with the description, dated and signature on verso. There is also a personal note from Scott Jacobs.

Jacobs grew up in Cranford, New Jersey, and graduated from Westfield High School where he drew pen-and-ink illustrations for the school’s newspaper. Jacobs worked for an art gallery as a teen and then went on to sell art out of his van.[2] At 19, he purchased an art gallery at below market value and was an art dealer for 25 years.[3] In 1989, his wife, Sharon, gave him an easel, canvases and paints as a Christmas gift. Jacobs began painting and displaying his work in his own galleries under the assumed name Escotete. Based on client feedback, he concentrated on creating work in a photorealistic style. In 1993, a short time after painting two pieces "Fat Boy” and “Live to Ride," which featured Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Jacobs' work was seen by the motorcycle manufacturer. Harley-Davidson signed Jacobs as its first officially licensed artist in its fine art program, a position he continues to hold.

Jacobs’ work has also been licensed by Chevrolet, Ford, Mattel, Marilyn Monroe Estates and Elvis Presley Enterprises and others. His work has appeared on Franklin Mint Collector Plates, apparel and other home décor items. As of 2013, Jacobs had been the official artist for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 17 times.
