- John Blakeley is an internationally renowned sculptor. After studying illustration at Blackpool Art College, he went on to study sculpture at The City and Guilds of London Art School, anatomy at The Royal Academy and life drawing at St Martins School of Art. He won coveted scholarships to the famous Academia of Sculpture in Carrara, Italy - working in the same marble quarry as Michelangelo - and Athens School of Fine Art in Greece.
In 1982, John entered the film industry for the first time; he has since gone on to be involved with some of the largest and most successful films of the past two decades. Often as Head of Sculpture Department, John has regularly been responsible for teams of twenty or more sculptors and worked closely with Directors and Production Designers. John has also worked within Special Effects Units and CGI (computer generated images) teams as a 3D Designer.
In 1999, John made his first and (so far) only big screen appearance as Napoleon's Court Sculptor in Quills.
Outside of the film industry, John Blakeley continues to produce his own work, together with public and private commissions.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Sean Blakeley
