Analogy

I have been a professional person illustrator for 20 years. I take worked on volume illustrations, comic series, graphic novels, medical illustrations, medical imaging, maps, icons, designs, marketing material, and more. I was a professional illustrator for the Prince Valiant Comic strip from 1999 to 2001. My illustrations were published in the strip in 350 papers effectually the earth. Additionally, my illustrations have been published in medical journals, websites, magazines, and many social media platforms.

I have worked for hundreds of clients including Costco, Grantham Academy, Artificial Basin, Dayspring, Yellowstone Partners, and hundreds more web, print, and multimedia clients. I have many years of experience developing and directing branding campaigns, internet marketing, animation, package design, and video projects.

Dragonstone Chronicles

Dragonstone Chronicles is a joint project I am working on with Em Hart. It began as a creative excerise for us a few years ago and has get an exciting full diddled creative project. We take 150,000 words of book one completed and now in the exhastive editing stage. We are planning a graphic novel for the serial, and hundreds and hundreds of illustrations already completed with plans for several years of exciting work ahead.

Oil Paintings

These oil paintings are executed with museum course materials and preparation. These are paintings that will concluding for hundreds of years and actually continue to amend with age as the oil leap pigments cure over fourth dimension and get more and more translucent to light.

Arches National Park

This is one of my favorite places to pigment. The fins, cliffs, and arches create an infinite assortment of compositions. I love when the sun is low at dawn and dusk. This deepens the hues inside the rocks and draws out the form with dramatic shadows.

Canyonlands National Park

I have been riding the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands on my bicycle for xv years. I feel as if my soul is part of these blood-red rock formations and someday my ashes will be.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton Parks

These are additional places that inspire me and my paintings. The color palette is different from the desert and allows for many different moods and compositions.

Plein Air Painting

I love to exit and paint from nature. Every camping trip is a business concern trip for me as I am always seeing the world in flat shapes and pieces of paint.

Professor of Art

I have worked with excellent students as a professor of digital illustration and drawing at Rowan Academy in New Jersey. I have also taught higher level entrepreneurship and modest business capstone at Idaho Land University in the College of Business.

The Creative Process

I often paint outdoors in plein air when I can. I also practise small colour studies and photos that I accept back to my studio for larger works.

John's Studio

I like to have many paintings and drawing projects going at the aforementioned time. This allows me to footstep away from i for a while and then come up back with fresh optics.

I bask spending time in my studio after piece of work when my kids are working on homework. They pop into my studio and often accept adept ideas or critiques of my projects. Their fresh perspective is sometimes merely the affair for a new idea or troubled composition.

Studio Assistant

I oftentimes receive help and useful critiques from my vii twelvemonth old girl. She loves to set up and work on artistic projects in the studio. She is an countless supply of creativity.

Underpainting

For my studio paintings I begin with a drawing and underpainting of the composition followed by thicker colors and layers. I utilise plein air references combined with photography for working up the last composition.

This method of working has too affected by digital productions where I often have hundreds of layers of colors, media, lines, and value to produce the look and feel of my final work.

Enquiry

Of course I exit for as much on site inquiry every bit possible. I dearest to be outdoors studying the red rocks of southern Utah.

Artist Statement

I believe visual art is the ultimate form of advice. To have abstract lines, symbols, and values and transform them into piece of work that touches our emotions and tells us a good story is what being man is all most. Illustration abounds in every aspect of business, amusement, and visual communication. A good illustrator is a good business person, a practiced presenter, a good communicator. In a world dominated past visual media, illustration and visual communication should be required coursework for all. It is equally important to be literate in visual communication equally information technology is in written language and public speaking.

In my fine art, I seem to exist irresistably drawn to the light, hues, and shapes of the ruby-red stone deserts of southern Utah. The eroded forms are sculptural and timeless. When I am in the presence of such places, I am forced to come across the world from the earth'due south timeline and not my puny homo one. I realize that I am merely a pocket-size blip and I always feel small when I am in their presence. The mural will suffer and go on its slow and beautiful transformation long after we humans accept passed away.

Each artwork I create is a journey for me, one that I promise passes on to the viewer when they meet my piece of work.
