Johnny lives in Akron, Ohio with 4 cats, a pug, and a fish in a haunted, mid-century home in the woods. When not attending to his menagerie, he enjoys painting and hunting for kitsch.
To see Johnny Yanok not wearing a gentle smile would be a rarity. When experiencing his work it is clearly understood where the contagious grin comes from. His art brings the viewer to a wonderful place of humor, a twinkle of years past and sometimes a simple quirky connection; just imagine what it does to the creator.
Evident inspiration for Johnny is mid-century style, tempered with a healthy dose of early Disney animation. This, along with traditional gouache painting techniques and digital media make his work truly unique. His success as an artist is from a rounded source of interests, and his paintings and sculptural works are exhibited in galleries internationally.
