John McLaughlin is an artist and creative director based in New York. With over fifteen years of experience, he has crafted award-winning, culturally resonant work for companies like Adobe, the NBA, and Nike.

Beyond leading agency and brand teams, John has an independent art practice where he seeks to draw viewers in and make their responses a part of the work. Most notably, John's work in 3D character development led to the inception of Fuzzy Dude, which was born from his longstanding exploration of animating hair. Fuzzy Dude first appeared with Tumblr at NYFW, where it sat in the hands (and won the hearts) of industry titans like Gigi Hadid, Whoopi Goldberg, and Anna Wintour. Since then, John has partnered with Adult Swim, The Guggenheim, Mattel, and more.

Whether he's creative directing a client campaign or ideating a new piece, John believes in crafting approachable and inviting art. He'd love to hear from you if you have a project or opportunity in mind.
