Columbus College of Art and Design, BA To see Johnny Yanok not wearing a gentle smile would be a rarity. When experiencing his work it is clearly understood where the contagious grin comes from. His art brings the viewer to a wonderful place of humor, a twinkle of years past and sometimes a simple quirky connection; just imagine what it does to the creator. Evident inspirations for Johnny are Mid-century style, vintage Halloween, Little Golden Books, Disneyland, and flea markets. Merging these, traditional gouache painting techniques and digital media make his work truly unique. His success as an artist is from a rounded source of interests. Johnny's paintings and sculptural works are exhibited in galleries internationally. His commercial work spans advertising to entertainment. Some of his recent clients include: AG Interactive, Artisan Publishing, Boston Warehouse, Cartoon Network, Disney, Fruit of the Loom, Harcourt School Publishers, IDN Publishing, Learning Curve International Publications International, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Toyota. Johnny is married to another talented artist, Jennifer Yanok, whom he met in art school. She acts as a good creative sounding board when "casting the line out farther" or "reeling in the big idea" is necessary. |
