John Stilgoe, Artist Welcome. Johns drawings, paintings, cartoons and illustrations have been used in everything from greetings cards n books to web sites and presentations.

He creates presents that will be kept for years. New house, cartoon, favourite view? Free quote. Welcome to my place. I have been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. I have been fortunate enough to make it a career and have taught art to children and adults for over 30 years. My interests are wide ranging but at the heart of everything is my love of drawing. If you have the time, w

hy not have a browse through some of the examples I've posted here? I was fortunate to have Jack Shore as head of my first art school in Chester, he was excellent at teaching us the importance of accurate observation and expressive mark making. My art interests are diverse including landscapes, house portraits, cartoons, book illustrations, t shirt designs and even photography. My range of media has narrowed recently but I am equally happy working with traditional media (graphite, ink, oil paint, acrylic, soft pastel, watercolour and digital/computer graphics.

We sadly lost Mr Gibbs, one of our two Jack russels, to cancer in November. He was a brilliant companion and the inspiration for many of my cartoons. He was loved so much by the family that I had to paint this.

When an artist gets a commission to create something, one of the first steps is the brief. Some are lengthy and really detailed, others not so much. How about this for being ‘brief’?
