Welcome to the amazing images of renowned Photoshop artist, W.B. Johnston. An award winning artist and illustrator, W.B.'s images have been published around the world.
W.B. Johnston's artwork has been sought out by a diverse array of clients, including; Microprose Software, Bristol Aerospace, The National Geographic Society, Sadlier Publishing, General Media, Rogers Publishing, Labatt Breweries, Scholastic Publications, McGraw Hill Publishing, Penthouse Magazine and many others. W.B.'s work has illuminated advertisements, textbooks, magazine, packaging, web sites, signage and more.
For many years, W.B. was known for his eye catching airbrush illustrations, mainly using Iwata Airbrushes and ComArt Acrylics on Crescent Art Papers and Illustration Surfaces. With the coming of the digital age, W.B. traded in his trusty airbrushes for a mouse and digital tablet, using Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia FreeHand and Corel Painter in place of paint. W.B. Johnston's creative imagery has translated well to the new media, elevating W.B. to the pinnacle of Photoshop artistry.
Some of W.B. Johnston's more amazing recent images have been a series of guitars, including illustrations of Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, Gibson Les Paul, and Paul Reed Smith Guitars. In fact,the attorneys for The Paul Reed Smith Company were concerned that my illustrations look so real (thanks guys!) that folks might think I make real PRS guitars. I do not make real PRS guitars nor do I work for Paul Reed Smith.
Hot off the press!!... (well, hot out of Photoshop really)... W.B.'s latest digital guitar, a spruce top, semi-hollow Hamer Newport Custom.
W.B. Johnston is proud to be the designer and illustrator for the PEI Guitar Festival posters. Click on the link below to find out more about this festival. (W.B. will also be playing a few tunes once again this year!)
Please enjoy your visit to the site, and come back often as new things will be added from time to time.
