John is a lifelong artist, both in the visual arts and the performing arts as an accomplished guitarist, favoring heavy metal and technical styles, which are also a major influence on his visual arts. He studied fine arts at the University of California, Davis, as well as in high school and numerous extension courses. After college he embarked on a career as an officer in the United States Army, which left little time for art. After 13 years, he left the Army for the private sector and resumed his passion of creating art. Although he has sold some commissioned pieces, art has mostly been a serious hobby for John. At age 36, John has become proficient in many artistic media, including pencil, colored pencil, acrylic, ink pen, stone sculpture, wood sculpture, ceramic sculpture and pottery, and even mosaic tile inlays. While John has created some abstract and contemporary pieces, most of his drawings tend to the sci-fi/fantasy realm, with some of them bordering on the disturbing....
John is available for commissioned work, and will consider making prints if there is interest.
