Scott Morse was trained at the California Institute of the Arts (commonly known as CalArts), where he majored in Character Animation. In his sophomore year he was hired out to work at Chuck Jones' Film Productions.

His comic book work includes work as illustrator and/or author on the series' Southpaw, Magic Pickle, Plastic Man (DC Comics), the mini-series Elektra: Glimpse & Echo (Marvel), and a three-comic story arc for Catwoman. Morse also illustrated the first six issues of Sam & Twitch, a spin-off of the Spawn comic book series. He has contributed to the graphic novels Cut My Hair (Oni Press) and Weird Tales vol.2 (Dark Horse) among others.

Morse's own graphic novels have been released through a variety of publishing houses, including Oni Press, Dark Horse, Top Shelf Productions and Image Comics. He also adapted the R.L. Stine Goosebumps story The Abominable Snowman of Pasedena ...one of three tales included in the volume Creepy Creatures... for Scholastic Press's graphic novel imprint, Graphix. While some of his graphic novels are intended for younger readers, Morse's work typically finds a much larger audience.

In the field of animation, he has worked as a character designer, storyboard artist, and art director for companies such as Disney, Universal, and Cartoon Network. Recently Morse played a large part in the Pixar short film Your Friend the Rat, which accompanies the 2007 film Ratatouille on DVD. This short film marked Pixar's first real 2-D animation project on a short-film scale.
