My greatest aspiration was to be an artist. I was raised in Lancashire, England and relocating to Yorkshire at the age of nine during the early 80s. After leaving school I pursued a career in Graphic design, later I was to realise it to be a bad move, for the 90s was a time of change in technology. College taught us using pens, rulers and photo-transfer machines yet the real world was gearing up for a digital revolution. In I officially became freelance and started out painting with acrylics on canvas paper. I loved using this medium, however by I decided to shed my Luddite ways and embrace technology and jump on the digital bandwagon. I get asked a lot about prints and where you can buy them.

John holcroft artist

John Holcroft began his career 25 years ago, working with traditional acrylic on canvas during a time when "work was slow" and technology was causing massive shifts in every industry. Today, he's an acclaimed illustrator creating digital illustrations for some of the biggest brands and media organisations in the world. The earth is slipping through our fingers. The Sheffield-based creative studied graphic design in college where they used pens, rulers and photo-transfer machines and entered the working world during a recession when jobs were scarce. My only way into anything creative was illustration, and acrylics was something I was fairly good at. Having spent the next few years honing my work I was faced with the decision, do I keep plodding on painting commissioned work that takes days or do I go digital and create work that takes a fraction of the time? With the digital revolution showing no sign of slowing down, John eventually embraced technology and the work slowly picked up.
