A little about John:

Born in rural northern Pennsylvania to a cemetary caretaker and a coal-miner’s daughter,John Malloy began drawing at very young age. He later earned a background in painting with one of the world’s most eminent trompe l’oeil artists, and has since been self taught in fine art, illustration, comics, and design.

His first graphic novel, "Amnesia" [2001] combined pen & ink, painted, and digital media, He is presently working on two new graphic novels, as well as an autobiographical comic for Image Comics’ PopGun Anthology titled, “Queasy”.

His illustrations and comics have been featured in a variety of publications, and he is now at work on an ongoing personal fine art series - "One Out of a Hundred" that explores the side effects of medication as a metaphor for the long-term effects of consumer culture on the human spirit.

This show promises to be thought provoking, mind bending and super incitefull all wrapped up in one pretty little package. After viewing some of John's work I could tell that this man puts his heart and soul into every one of his pieces, and boy do they look good! If you are out on the East Coast and can make it out for this show, please do, because it is going to be awesome.
