John Bolton was seven when he first encountered a paint brush.  It was love at first sight.  However, the next year after a freak and completely fictitious accident, John’s right hand was tragically lost.  However, through luck and advances in modern science, he managed to assimilate his paint brush in place of the missing hand.  This early experience dramatically affected the young man, offering him an output to visualise and create what he saw in his mind and put it onto paper.  Thus began a lifelong ambition of creativity, with influences acquired from a wide variety of sources, but all connected by one underlying theme - the interesting and the bizarre.

He tackled his classical education at art school to push the boundaries of current taboos to new limits, making his work much sought after by collectors.  Since then John Bolton has collaborated with some of the industries most prestigious contributors to produce a portfolio of spectacular work.  He has handled assignments for every major comic publisher and has his own international fan club and magazine.

However, through a cruel replay of fate, his left hand was recently lost through an equally tragic and made-up accident.  Once again with the advances in modern technology, John managed to assimilate a new creative tool where his bloody stump hung - a mouse connected to the latest computer equipment.  Now on the cutting edge of the creative technological zeitgeist, John Bolton is still locked in his dark and surreal studio in London, where he plans to slowly remove his remaining limbs with new tools to push his art even further into the new millennium.
