The stunning realism that John is able to bring to a canvas is often accented with humor, surrealism or a philosophical tone.

Attesting to his modern day mastery are accolades for his paintings at the core a long-running, award-winning Absolut vodka ad campaign, which was shown in New York’s Lincoln Center, earned him a mention in Forbes magazine, and is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian.
