| Comments: | An incredibly talented artist and whose work I saw in Canada a couple of days ago as I was about to fly home to the UK. I was left speachless at The Creed and have made enq to have a print shipped to me here in Yorkshire, England. The image of the work stayed with me in my mind on the flights and hope that I can get a copy then shipped and framed over here asap. This man not only inspires, is inspirational and reaches parts and paints the soul and nature as it should be seen. Truly incredible work. Best wishes Kev YORKSHIRE - ENGLAND |

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE AND I WANTED TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR AGREEING TO DO IT FOR US. NOW THE ONLY PROBLEM IS KEEPING IT FROM DANIELLE FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS.

| Comments: | I visited my massage therapist last week and noticed one of your paintings... I was immediately drawn to it and wondered what one might look like that incorporated a photo of my son who passed away in August and a spiritual view of his unborn daughter (due in March)with visions of all her relatives still here or passed around her. Let me know if this is something that interests you and what the costs might be... I am so moved by your sense of depth. |

| Comments: | What are you dreaming and how shall it look? I had a tree ask me for an offering of garlic in return for a piece of bark to use for a surface reading on a specific question I had in mind, it asked while still 7 miles east while I was formulating the question, who'd of thought it would LOL. The One Creed angel developed beautifully and speaks that All come forth from One source manifesting substance. The Guides and the Guardians remind me of that new garlic friend. Hope your well. |

| Comments: | Hi John. Part of my life growing up was in Orono, I remember as a kid about I was about 10 years old, and 30 years ago. I had seen a red Trans Am (just around the corner of main and cobbledick) with Weekend Warriors Decals on the Spoiler and Ted Nuggent with his Guitar and the end of it being a Double Barrel Shotgun, Very cool, No one ever confirmed, but I was always under the impression it was your work, this would be the car that S. Sawyer is probably talking about. I think you had a huge impact on a lot of people as an artist and as a person, more than you even know............. Douglas Doxtater |

| Comments: | It seems so long ago when I met you in Bowmanville and commissioned a picture of my parents golden retriever. It was nice to reminisce and see some of the paintings that you one had in your store. It still amazes me the quality as well as the ability to capture the spirit of the subject in your works. When I go home to visit family I look at that picture and think that that dog is going to jump out of the picture. I look forward to seeing more of your works. |

It looks just like our daughter did at the time of her life and the clothes are the same etc. I once told you she was on Dialysis and she did get a kidney on Halloween 2000! So we have celebrated her 6th Aniversary. I will always have her near with your painting. I will be looking for another in the next year or so.. You have the spirituality in the paintings I feel so much. LIfe is so special and to ignore what is around us is a very sad thing to do! Thank you again Elaine L |

| Comments: | Johannus, my wife and I own one of the limited edition framed work "Native Peace", it is inspirational to say the least, I applaud, and indeed, support your commitment to Mother Earth and the Native way of life, just think if more of the so called "civilised" people of this world could even just grasp a small part of the Native Culture this world would be a far better place. I only wish we could afford to buy more of your work. |

It was a pleasure speaking with you and this will make it the 7th print we have of yours. Your work creates a warming presence in our home and speaks to me in ways that make them seem like they're coming from my own heart. Good luck on your move back to Haliburton and on the opening of your new studio. We'll drop by in the fall when the studio tour is on. Thanks again. |

| Comments: | Dear Mr. Boots, I was made aware of your work through my sister. She bought one of your prints, "The Gift of Life" and at the time I had just given birth to my daughter. I can remember sitting and staring at it for hours....discovering something new everytime I looked at it. I found it a wonderful source of relaxation...and introspection. I have wanted a copy of it for myself since...my daughter now being nine. I am hoping someday that I will be able to acquire one. I can only imagine the satisfaction, gratification and creative release you must feel every time you create one of these masterpieces. It is wonderful to sit and look...really look at them, peeling back the layers one by one. It can only be described as an absolute pleasure to view each and every one of your works. Your work brings out a calming in me that I have found through no other source. Bravo sir!!! My hat is off to you. Keep up the exemplary work, as I, and many others would miss it expressly were it to stop. Sincerely, Patricia |

| Comments: | Your work is absolutely outstanding. I fell in love with your work when I was about 12 or 13 years of age. I first saw Heaven on Earth and Gateways to Discovery at the Coburg waterfront festival. At this point in time Gateways to Discovery was still a work in progress. I enjoy painting myself, but I do not consider myself an artist. It blows me away how much creativity you have, and how each of your works tells a lifetime of stories within them. You are truly inspiring and my absolute favorite artist. Thank you for sharing you wonderful gift with me and the rest of the world. --Julie Otvos |

It was way back in the early 80's when you and Peter had your shop "Artist Images" in Bowmanville. I had you do it for my 21st B'day. You might not remember this either but we when to school together in Orono. Well actually it was Peter and I who were in the same class. I used to hang around with Lana L. and Susan D. and Janny S. and Lori H. Any way, I love admiring your work and I cherish my piece that I have of yours. I've never looked so good and never will again. I hope to someday be able to get another one. Congradulations on your beautiful work and I hope they'll be more for a long time to come. Thank you for the beauty that you see in the world and that you have helped the rest of to see. Laurie T.(Cox) |

| Comments: | Hello Mr. Boots, A couple of years ago (when I was about 16) I saw one of your limited edition copies of "The Family Tree" in a Native American art gallery located near Bobcageon, ON. I fell in love with the painting, and somehow managed to convince my grandmother to buy it for me, with the promise that I would repay her. She did, and it has remained one of my most valued possesions to this day (I am now almost 21). I stumbled across your sight, and thought I'd pass on the compliment. I greatly enjoy your work. Keep it up! Jenna |

| Comments: | Hello John and Family! It has been ages since I have seen you or been part of the Art Festival. On a nostalic trip down memory lane, looking at some old photos of my darling Symon, (all grown up now I am sure), I thought I would check out some of your more recent work. Beautiful and inspiring as always. Of course my favourites contain Symon. He was such a precious boy and I remember you all fondly. Hope all is well, and keep up the great work. Beverley Boot |

| Comments: | Hi John, I've been a collector of your art for some time now and it is amazing how you can turn an idea into such excellent work. The small detail is so incredible I could stare at you work for hours and still find different hidden figures in your work. Presently I'm downsizing and hate to part with some of your work but it has to be done. If you know anyone interested in Gift of Life (framed) or Graditude (unframed)they can email me for more info. Thanks and keep up the good work hopefully in the future I can buy more of your work. |

| Comments: | hi johannus, my wife and i love your work. both of us were born and raised in bowmanville and remember as kids seeing you in the front window of what i assume was your house on duke st. as we walked to the school across the street. we started appreciating your work over ten years ago when we saw a print at a friends house, (GIFT OF LIFE). seeing that intrigued us and we immediately fell in love with the message and style of your art. in 1998 we were given THE DANCE as a house warming gift. since then we have purchased CHILD OF VISION because it looked like our daughter at that age, and for christmas my wife purchased HEAVEN ON EARTH,which we admire very much. thank you for your beautiful artwork and the inspiring messages and images they portray. |

| Comments: | Mr. Boots, Thank you for sharing and inspiring us with your wonderful gift! I am struggling with my aboriginal creativity and find myself inspired by your art work. My parents purchased "Native Peace" a few years ago and I fell in love with it as it portrays my struggle of trying to return to my roots. I just need to find the right door. I also, came accross your painting "Surrender" and was hit with emotion & a tear. Your paintings/messages are powerful! I am in the process of purchasing "Family Tree" for my parents for their 46th Wedding Anniversary. Thank You! Sincerely, Cindy Restoule Elliot Lake, ON |

| Comments: | Hi! What an amazing website of your beautiful inspiring artwork! I am a friend of your wonderful mother. We have been on pilgrammage together in Quebec just recently and last summer as well. You are indeed very talented and creative. It is great to see the representation of Native Culture which in my mind is very connected to nature. Looking at your art gives me a sense of peace and wonder. I love nature because I feel that is where I can feel the presence of God; in the quiet and the wonder of all He created. Your artwork refects that beauty and peace so realistically that one can escape into nature without physically being there. It was a great pleasure to view your fabulous work and read about you and what inspires your work. I can certainly see why your mother is one of your inspirations; she is a beautiful, caring person and I can see why she is so proud of you. Sincerely, Lori Randall |

| Comments: | I bought Vision Quest as gift for myself after college it is a numbered limited print 299 out of 550. It touched my heart the first time a saw it which was about a year before I graduated. Ofcourse it went up in cost and with the expensive frame I originally paid $2375.00 back in 1996. I'm guessing by now it has doubled in price and I was hoping to find out what it is appraised at now for insurance purposes because I changed my insurance company and they want an up to date apprasial but that costs money and I was hoping to find a place on line where I could get it appraised for free. If anyone reading this knows of a website I could get an apprasial at please e-mail me. Or if you know of a cheap place to get this done in Edmonton Alberta I would appreciate it. |

| Comments: | I bought Vision Quest the year you had it at Buckhorn. I couldn't afford the framed print and it took me until last year to find a frame to fit that didn't cost more than the print. Still, during that time, I kept it in the plastic envelope you had put it in and had it hung in my living room so I could enjoy it. Everyone who comes in is absolutely fascinated by this piece. I am a little more affluent now and would like, eventually, to purchase another piece. |

I love the tree and forest metaphor and the way you superimpose different images in your paintings. We are ONE. Your work is not only breathtaking, it is hopeful. Where are you based and do you have a gallery where I might see some of your paintings up close and personal? Blessings xo Grace |

Chris and l had a great time hanging with your family. We talked about it all the way home in the car. l couldn't help looking at the wildnerness around me in an entirely different way. l was a spiritual revival for me. l spent quite a long time re-viewing your art on the website and can't help mentioning again that your images play tricks with my visions. For me, the trip north and the art tours give me an opportunity to look outside my narrow world and grow. Your art, your family have been a gift. Thankyou for your kindness' and your willingness to allow a simple soul as myself to experience your expression of love. Elea XO |
