John's work endures. His ideas and creativity flow in all sorts of wondrous directions and always seem to fit perfectly in the mold they break. Whether you have the seeds of an idea or nothing at all, his mad professor laboratory of a brain will roam the creative landscape and discover something that's always the perfect fit for your project.

John's life experiences with his eyesight have given him an unusual and special gift - the ability to see the core essence of any moment. Coupled with his ginormous heart, he has the ability to express both the optics of those moments and the feeling that comes with them, in his art and photos in a way that average humans can't.

My introduction to John Dill was one of life’s greatest blessing. We became friends instantaneously and merged the goals I had to create visuals for my website revamp and multiple photoshoots, capturing me with a more authentic, yet artistic lens. With John’s brilliant creative mind and huge heart, the time I spend working with John is such a gift and out of this world adventure.

John has designed a logo and complete identity packages for several of my companies and consulting projects that I have worked on. His work is second to none and I highly recommend John and his team.

Dill and I have both done work for EMU. I was impressed with the way he handled the designs for nearly all of its communications, save the logo, which I designed. Dill has a great eye for design, and he is also an all-around cool guy. I could not fathom anyone being disappointed after working with him.

John designed all the Avalon nightclub advertisements for our publication (as well as other publications in the market.) He was incredibly easy to work with - professional, punctual and cordial come to mind.

I absolutely adore working with John Dill. His level of visionary and artistic insights always deliver next-level dimension to any project that I am working on with him. I love how I can give him a specific direction and he will produce something that evokes this; and then gives new suggestions that surpass what I had originally envisioned of. He is professional, dedicated and such an incredible artist…

I’ve known John for 25 years. Over that time and forever, John will be a life long friend, confidant, collaborator, and inspiration. I’m sure many feel that way about him as well.
Professionally I’ve worked with John in various capacities.
From iconic brands and experiences like Le Souk Sunday Sessions, Sullivan Room, Movida, Robot Heart to our DJ collaborations as Swamy & John Dill, it’s been a kindred relationship. After working with so many creatives over the past, he remains the most intuitive. He gets it.
Aside from my working relationship, John is a modern-day renaissance man. A Graphic Designer, DJ, Photographer, Art Director, and Artist. John Interweaves his work between these mediums to create unique work.
What makes his work stand out and connect to people is it ties to his life, experience, and adversities. He personalizes them and manifests them into art, and you can feel it…
