Spray paint on London Underground tickets, hand finished with acrylic ink. This piece is entitled "The Writer" and is one of Johnman's renowned train ticket artworks depicting a young man wandering down a train track with a spray can in hand. Johnman's tag adorns the side of the bridge. The pink London Underground Ticket - A classic piece of iconic design soon to be confined to the history books in the digital age. Being non-recyclable (due to the metallic data strips within) I was keen to do something with the collection I'd acquired and was inspired by the rise of early New York Graffiti painted on the side of subway carriages. Hence, I've used Banksy-esque to adorn them with my designs but with a romantic as opposed to political message. One of the things I love about painting on railway tickets is the dual aspect it gives the work. One can admire my artwork and its symbolism but with the use of opaque paints, the details printed on each ticket can still be seen. This leaves you wondering about the untold story of the immortalised journey printed upon each one. Titled and signed en-verso along with the edition number and media used. From a limited edition of 5 pieces, each slightly different due to the tickets used and loose, freestyle application of the acrylic ink. Framed and ready to hang.

Like many urban artists, Johnman's true identity is a closely guarded secret. However, there is speculation by some that he may in fact be a man named John. He likes to take old or familiar objects and breath new life into them by using them as his canvas and artistic inspiration. Inspired by Graffiti’s roots with the painting of trains; he set about spray painting intricately hand cut stencils onto train tickets, old signs, and other media which are then hand finished with acrylic ink in his own unique style. This work is interspersed with occasional brightly coloured works on more conventional stretched canvases. British born; Johnman started his journey into the urban art world with Devon’s Arts Anonymous. He now resides in Dublin. He was a finalist in the Inaugural Stencil Art Prize in Sydney and has exhibited in numerous galleries and exhibitions, including a solo show in London's Graffik Gallery. His work has been published in both of the Upfest Urban Art Festival Books and Bizarre Magazine. His artwork resides in private collections around the globe. Johnman is available for commissions both large and small. Be it an outdoor mural, a train ticket piece incorporating tickets with meaningful dates / locations or anything in-between. A self proclaimed romantic, this is often reflected in his artwork. If you know where he’s exhibiting or painting then keep your eyes peeled for one of his hand painted pebbles, inscribed with his mantra “The best things in life aren’t things”.
