Johnny Hicklenton

Last night, I watched an incredible documentary entitled, "Here's Johnny" on More4 about the life and times of the super talented artist, Johnny Hicklenton. It chronicles the past 7 years of his life as he has been a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer since 2000. Watching this incredible artist struggle and come to terms with the disease, whilst still drawing 10-12 hours per day was a truly inspiring and touching piece of cinematography. He is best known for his artwork during the 90's of Britain's 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine. (In my opinion, he is definitely one of the best British illustrative talents ever)
What is also amazing, is the fact that he continues to focus on bringing multiple sclerosis as a disease to the public's attention in order to help it's sufferers fight for better treatment and research from the medical community. Long live Johnny and his truly inspiring story!
