John Liszewski
John Liszewski, born in Bucks County, PA, moved to Maryland in 1977 and embarked on a lifelong journey of artistic expression. Throughout his school years, he honed his artistic skills, spending time in art classes and eventually studying at Bucks Community College.
While pursuing a career, John’s passion for art never waned. He channeled his creativity into cartoons featuring his coworkers and supervisors, reminiscent of the popular Dilbert comics. His talent caught the attention of Army Motors, the publication for the international Military Vehicle club MVCC, where he contributed a regular cartoon series.
After a hiatus, John returned to his cartooning roots with a new character, Jerry Cann, featured in the publication History in Motion.
Beyond cartoons, John has created paintings, drawings, and even murals, showcasing his versatile artistic abilities. He contributed art to the Stuart Tank Memorial Association in Berwick, PA, preserving the memory of WWII’s historic light tank.
In addition to his artistic pursuits, John is a lifelong Karate practitioner, with over 54 years of teaching and training experience. He initiated the program at the Easton YMCA and has continued his involvement with Caroline Rec and Parks for more than two decades.
John is also dedicated to community service, having volunteered for various causes, including Reiki at Easton Memorial, welcoming veterans at the National WWII Memorial for Honorflight.org, and participating in Tarot Tuesday meetings in Denton.
Now retired, John remains active, occasionally taking on part-time work and participating in arts and craft fairs and events alongside his daughter, Emily.
