My name is John, and I'm a freelance artist looking to sell my work.

I have been an artist all my life and have done various art courses such as, A- level art at Rossett school, Foundation art and Design at York Collage and I have recently completed my degree in Creative Arts at Aberytwyth University.

My main interests are in Illustration and Creative Writing. I love all sorts of stories, particularly Fantasy and Science Fiction. I personally feel that they are the most inventive and exciting genres of storytelling.

The Lord of the Rings I would say are my all time favourite books and movies and I have read and watched them many times over, so much that I could probably recite them, particularly the movies.

I also really like children's stories, I'm currently working on illustrating a children's book which my friend is writing all about listening and being brave. It has lots of animals like robins, parrots, wrens and deer in it. So I'm open to illustrating all sorts of stories, and doing many different types of artwork.

I have painted various landscapes around Aberytwyth, on the beach and around the town, using more creative colours reflecting mood and creating a story.

I have been to life drawing classes, drawing and painting nude figures and still life’s. I'm also looking into drawing and painting pets. I've painted and drawn my Cocker Spaniel, Rosie, on canvas as a birthday present for my mother. It's also available for sale as a print.
