Discover ArtSince the age of five, I have been hooked on drawing, sketchbook in hand, turning ideas into visuals with raw energy. That passion never left me, it just leveled up.
In 2020, I launched John Sands Art online, finally opening up my world of artwork to curious minds everywhere. My story isn’t polished or predictable; I go where the inspiration takes me.
You will find daring adult pieces that challenge the norm, punchy comic-influenced scenes, vibrant urban takes, wild fantasy and anime, and abstract works that break all the rules. Every piece comes from hands-on experience, risk, and 40 years of finding new ways to say something real.
Being a Black creator in today’s art scene, I am here to make space for raw expression, cultural pride, and the kind of originality you actually notice. Artists should invite you in, not push you out.
Fantasy, anime, comic, urban, abstract and adult 18+. A running reel of originals from the studio.
