Justin W John finds his inspiration in the transitions and connections that his naturally inquisitive and introspective mind sorts out of the gray matter. Interpersonal relationships, textual translations, and pixelated information form the evolving social normative models that make up our collective story. Through periods of reflection and random synaptic firings, he connects the dots within the kaleidoscope he works within.
Born on the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines in 1981, Justin grew up on the East Coast in Virginia and Maryland. He studied graphic design at the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, earning his BFA in 2003. His career as a freelance graphic and web designer began shortly after, with clients like B.E.T., The Peace Corps, and McGraw-Hill Publishing. He also immersed himself in D.C.’s music scene and held creative roles in the retail industry.
In 2014, Justin moved to Boise, Idaho to be closer to his mother, where he currently lives and creates in his studio in the historic Idanha Hotel. Splitting his time between Boise and Chapel Hill, North Carolina to visit his father, Justin continues to create thought-provoking work that reflects his unique perspective on the world.
