John says, "I grew up in Pompey and I studied graphic design a long time ago, but dropped out and ran away to sea. I spent 25 years travelling the world, but continued to draw, usually with a humorous theme. I use traditional and new media, but always seem to draw people as opposed to landscapes, scenes, objects. I have had a lot of work published in mags etc and occaisionally get commissioned to produce work for personal presentations, always humorous!"
