Born:  London 1961

Education:   English Literature   University of East Anglia.

Screenprinting: London Print Studios

John Patrick Reynolds is the first artist to have secured the licence to reproduce images from Britain's favourite post war comics including The Beano, The Dandy and Commando

From working as a journalist on local newspapers in north London to war reporting in Croatia, John Patrick Reynolds photography skills became more apparent leading him then to explore screen-printing at the London Print Studios in London.

Having his first solo show at the Fourth Street Photo Gallery in New York in September 2001. John has since secured the first license to reproduce images from Britain's favourite post war comics.

Of some of Britain's most famous characters, Reynolds says 'Dennis, Desperate Dan, the Bash Street Kids are all gifts to the printmaker - red and black jumpers, bold colours, simple outlines and the speech bubbles all make for really dramatic pictures 

Comic book characters are a very important part of British cultural identity but the foremost publisher of comics in Britain - DC Thomson, of Beano and Dandy fame, inventors of such classic characters as Dennis the Menace, Desperate Dan and the Bash Street Kids - has until now never given an artist permission to use its vast archive of images. I am the first artist to be given a license to use its images in my screenprints.

Each is printed on cotton paper.  Edition of 25
