GROWING UP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO AND PLAINS OF CENTRAL TEXAS JOHN HAS A ROOTED RESPECT AND DEEP APPRECIATION FOR NATURE AND MUCH OF HIS WORK REVOLVES AROUND ISSUES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. HIS ILLUSTRATIONS USE MUTED ORGANIC COLORS AND SIMPLE FINE LINE-WORK TO SIMPLIFY AND BETTER REFLECT HIS THEMES AND MESSAGES.
