Hayden Scott-Baron

Hayden Scott-Baron (born 6 April 1980) is an English professional illustrator and graphic designer. In 2001 he joined up with other comic creators Laura Watton, Sam Brown/Subi and Foxy in founding one of the largest UK Manga Studios, Sweatdrop Studios where he is better known as Dock.[1]

Information

He is also a prominent games developer, and established Starfruit Games in 2010.[2]

Hayden has written several 'how-to' books on the topic of drawing manga, including 'Digital Manga Techniques' and 'Manga Clip Art'.

He currently lives in Cambridge, UK, and regularly attends UK anime conventions, representing Sweatdrop Studios.

Hayden was awarded second-prize in the 'Tokyopop Rising Stars of Manga: UK & Ireland #3' for a comic named 'Two for Joy'.

In December 2009 Dock became the artist for Minecraft, working alongside the sole developer, Markus Persson.[3] However, Markus liked to develop on his own better, and decided to take Dock off of the team.[4]
