John is a self taught artist and it was in 1990 that he started drawing cars in pencil with his first sketch being of a Ford Pop 103e. He then experimented using various mediums so he could produce the images in a choice of colours. He finally settled for digital art, as it allowed him more flexibility and creativity.

 

John has always been a petrol head and it all started with an MGB pedal car. He is a huge fan of all classic cars and currently owns two 1971 BMW 2500s (E3).

​

Pictured above is John with his 1971 BMW 2500 bought in 1984. He regretted selling it, so in 2018 he bought another that was almost the same.

​

The original 1984 photograph was replicated in 2018 at the same location.
