John Carroll Long is a native of Michigan, having spent over 50 years creating art outside
Detroit and in Ann Arbor before relocating to South Florida. His education includes a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (1974) from Detroit’s Center for Creative Studies after initiating his studies in Fine Arts at Eastern Michigan University. In his early fine arts career, John exercised his wit and exceptional drawing talents as a syndicated cartoonist with King Features and published in over 80 U.S. newspapers and internationally including the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Toledo Blade and Tokyo Times.
John was also the cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune Magazine weekly (1995-1998) with his
humor panels “Long Overdue,” and “Lumpy Gravy” as well as the Detroit News Magazine (1985-2000) with “Lumpy Gravy.” During this same period, John’s photography and drawings
received prestigious competition awards along with publication exposure in prominent
nationwide news editions and magazine covers. John’s humor panels are currently published daily on the Editorial Page “VIEWS” of the Fort Myers News-Press.
John relocated to Florida in 2007 to become partner and resident artist at UP ART and DESIGN GALLERY Contemporary in Naples, Florida where he offers his extraordinary and creative output of fine art as well as humor in a variety of mediums: painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media 3D and 2D as well as installation works, photography, paintography, and short story writings.
Much of John’s diverse work explores humanistic themes and stories dealing with “relationships” in the broadest sense of the word. John’s work perpetually allows for multiple translations and reflections of history, contemporary culture and details of a personally constructed “cultural, often surreal mythology”. Characteristic of John’s work are expressions of joy and exuberance,
humor and delight along with notes of wit, seasoned by a sophisticated and recognizable nostalgia.
John Carroll Long’s work may be viewed at Up Art & Design Gallery, 340 8th Street South,
Naples, FL 34102.
