John Jones is one of the pioneers of 3D visualization and has had his textile work acquired by the V&A.
John himself is an expert in the technical and visual aspects of digitally developing art work into a virtual exhibition. Recently his virtual gallery also topped Saatchi in the popularity ratings on You Tube.
He combines being a craft artist with 3D visualization for luxury commercial brands and today, I, Donna Glashon interviewed the refreshingly humble John Jones about art and utilizing digital technology to enhance his work and market it to larger audiences successfully.
