I saw John's stand at the last Bristol convention but, as I was new to the whole comics thing at the time and hadn't started collecting sketches, I passed by. This time I took the trouble to stop and have a look at his work while getting a pencil sketch. John is a more classical artist who always hand paints his work and has done a number of stories for 2000AD in this style. More recently, he's been working on an adaptation of Jane Eyre for Classical Comics and it certainly looks like it continues his tradition of highly detailed painted comics.
