A professional writer, photographer and illustrator, John Gillham is best known for his lavishly illustrated coffee table books.

He has illustrated books by Ronald Turnbull, Jon Sparks, Roy Clayton and Irvine Butterfield with line drawings and maps. John's 3d panorama drawings now feature in his own feature series, 'Way to Go' for TGO magazine. |
