John Holcroft spent most of his childhood drawing, painting and making stuff from what ever he could find. During his college years I became a fan of artists like David Cutter, Ian Pollock and Edward Hopper.

After 5 years of painting all his work on canvass paper, in 2001 John started to familiarise himself with technology and start executing his artwork using a Wacom tablet and Corel Painter. Since then John Holcroft have reinvented his style about 5 or 6 times. It was in 2009 that he decided to create a sustainable style with a little more longevity.
