John F. Johnson is Doublejay Visions Art Studio.
I founded the studio in 2003 after the muse struck me while editing the family Christmas calendar. I have not looked back.
I developed my own style as a photo illustrator employing a pictorial look and feel. Many of my titles are as entertaining as the works, themselves.
