Reviews 'Every page is so well designed and image rich - such a lovely book to get immersed in and so informative and interesting. The references really help to contextualise the artwork and development - gives the reader a greater understanding of [John’s], work and influences - as well as being very inspirational for any budding artists. Brilliant!' Avram Buchanan, Creative Director - Limehouse Communication Agency
