We've been chatting by e-mail a bit lately because we both explore some similar themes in our work, but I had no idea he ordered a copy of my book. Since he makes a very cute book model, I had to post this to my blog. (I hope you don't mind, John!)
I've been wanting to write about him anyway, so that provides a good lead-in...
John Douglas' art encompasses a wide range of techniques including photography, painting, film, and mixed-media, so it's no surprise that he has such a diverse list of international exhibitions and publications to his credit. So far this year, he has already shown his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Washington, Arthouse Gallery in Atlanta, Laconia Gallery in Boston, Antena Gallery in Chicago, and the Tap Gallery in Sydney (to name a few).

So thanks, John, for continuing to be a much-needed disruptive influence on the art world and a big inspiration to me! (Thanks too for sending the book photo!)
