In
John's own words: "I've always loved art
and reading. As a kid I would diligently draw
pictures of what I read (mostly aviation, spaceships,
and history) but in 7th grade I read my first
fantasy book "The Hobbit". After that
my drawings became filled with mythical creatures
and strange lands. This was reinforced in collage
when I started playing D&D (imagine that)
and drawing my characters, but life intervened
and because I had been earning money in the
education market since high school my art career
moved that way and with the slow passage of
time many things were forgotten. Then 5 years
ago I discovered Sci/Fi Fantasy conventions
and was blown away by the artwork. All my enthusiasm
about fantasy art came rushing back and I knew
I would be doing a lot of this kind of art weather
it made me a living or not...It's turning out
to be a grand adventure."
