About

John is an award-winning film-maker & artist

Film-making

John has made music videos, environmental campaign films and produced several films showcasing his work as an illustrator. The music video he conceived and directed, ‘The Joy and the Wonder’, written and recorded with his band Last Picture Show won ‘Best Music Video’ at the 2021 Hollywood Art and Movie Awards film festival and was shortlisted at several other film festivals. He is currently developing his first short film and follow-up feature-film screenplay.

Whether as writer, producer, director or editor, John's work is typified by a keen social conscience, a love of visual & audio spectacle and a diligent attention to detail across all disciplines.

Unique Collectible Artworks

John’s meticulously detailed cutaway artworks for major studio film properties have gained international acclaim and his work has been published in conjunction with Pixar, Lucasfilm, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Studios on properties such as Alien, Star Wars, Batman, Halo, Warhammer and Serenity/Firefly.

Emulating the film-makers he admires who achieve as much of the shot as possible ‘in camera’ with minimal VFX, John achieves his art with paints rather than pixels, working traditionally on 300gm watercolour paper using pencil & ink before applying multiple layers of watercolour to produce complex paintings with incredible detail, texture and depth.

Due to the nature of studio-licensed published art, these pieces cannot be reproduced as prints, creating an exclusive portfolio of unique large format originals. These investment pieces are especially suited to high-end art collectors and those looking to acquire or gift truly unique one-off originals which depict and celebrate some of science fiction cinema's most iconic pieces of hardware.
