Raised in Yorkshire in
the fifties, a much beloved and pampered son, allowed
to draw all the hours the day could bring, set me on my life long
love for
art. Despite teenage angst and being dermatologically challenged
I had my
Foundation Year at York School of Art and discovered how to be
cool and hip!
The following year started me at Newcasltle Polytechnic doing a
three year
course on Graphic Design, where I attained a 2-2 Degree and the
ability to
speak with a Geordie accent.
With these newly acquired skills I went to seek my fortune in London
and
worked for design consultants and agencies, but couldn't understand
why
people called me John!
Now a seasoned designer with years of experience, and unemployed
(not for
long), I thought it was time to explode on to the art scene and
share with
everyone my take on life, with my watercolours and caricatures. |
