John Linthurst – Creator. Author. Artist. Grower. Fisherman. Recluse. But not Eccentric!
It is all true and then some. I can do a lot of things, just not at once.

John works in ‘tangents’, meaning he gets inspired on a project idea, and can engage himself until creative burnout. That may take a year mind you, and then he comes upon a new inspiration, which drives another project.
Each project seems fascinating and a personal revolution at the time, but at completion, it becomes just another chapter in the artist evolution. Seldom does he return to past projects when there are so many grand ideas still ahead!

To understand ‘Projects’ it would be beneficial to visit the various galleries in the navigation ribbon. People ask him, ‘where do his crazy ideas come from?’ The standard answer is “I simply don’t know” However, they are fun, educational, or just revealing. Images are everything, and the basis of his work. Even if they are manipulated for story and stacked together raucously.
