HELLO. MY NAME IS JOHN CHRISTOPHER GODDARD. I WAS BORN IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS ON APRIL 24, 1964. I STARTED DRAWING AS AN INFANT CHILD. I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHEN MY MOTHER FIRST TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE MY CRAYONS. AFTER COLORING BOOKS, I BEGAN MAKING MY OWN SMALL COMIC BOOKS ON PADS OF PAPER. MOST OF MY CHARACTERS WERE SUPERHEROES. I USED THE TELEVISION AS A SOURCE FOR MY ARTISTIC STUDIES. I COLLECTED COMIC BOOKS BEFORE I COULD READ. I STUDIED THE ARTWORK IN EVERY PANEL FROM COVER TO COVER. LATER, I BEGAN TO COLLECT ANATOMY AND ARTIST PORTFOLIO BOOKS. EVENTUALLY, I DEVELOPED MY OWN DRAWING STYLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY FORMAL OR HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF ART. THEREFORE, I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE COMPLETELY SELF-TAUGHT AS AN ARTIST. THROUGHOUT MY LIFETIME, I'VE STUDIED EVERY ASPECT OF ART FROM MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES. AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I WENT TO COLLEGE FOR A FEW YEARS. LATER, I ENLISTED INTO THE USMC. I WAS AN ACTIVE DUTY MARINE FOR 13 YEARS. I AM NOW A DISABLED AMERICAN VETERAN OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS. I DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC STUDIO OR GALLERY. I CREATED THIS WEBSITE TO DISPLAY MY ARTWORK PUBLICLY.
