BIOGRAPHY
John
D. Shaw
John
Shaw, a native of Nevada, USA, was born in 1961 and began
his career in art and graphics in the early '80s. Beginning
as an illustrator, Shaw created commercial artwork for a
wide variety of clients, such as Lucas films Ltd, Major
League Baseball, and several major entertainment software
companies.
In
1993 his work took a major turn when he began creating paintings
with an historical aviation theme, paying special attention
paid to the World War II era. His award-winning depictions
of these aircraft, people and the missions in which they
participated have proven extremely popular, particularly
throughout the U.S, and have illustrated numerous publications.
He has been exhibited extensively throughout the US and
the rest of the world and his limited edition prints have
enjoyed a huge amount of success, with many of his editions
completely sold out and trading for considerable sums on
the secondary market.
Over
the last ten years John has gained a loyal and rapidly increasing
following for his work making him one of the most highly
regarded aviation artists in the US and an exciting prospect
for collectors as his reputation and talent put him firmly
on the world stage.
