John recently graduated magna cum laude from the University of Oregon’s Clark Honors College with a B.A. in Art History. He plans to go on to get an MFA in Art History, and later to fulfill a lifelong dream of directing movies.  In the meantime he works as Idylls Press’ in-house cover designer and illustrator. (Go here to see examples of John’s work.)

John also loves to sketch caricatures of famous writers and musicians. Prints of some of his work are for sale here on his website, at Idylls Press, and on clothing and gift items at the Idylls Press Cafepress store. Along more literary lines, John is also a frequent contributor of film and book reviews for Godspy, catholicmoviesonline, and catholicfiction.net.

John is currently teaching Art History courses at Western Oregon University.
