A. J. Callan was born in Glasgow in 1958 during a period of new confidence and optimism in Britain. Surrounded by all of the new ideas and art that emerged from this new mindset, Callan was urged to use his imagination and follow his dreams. From a young age he'd been interested in art and so after school he went to art college and studied fine art and graphic design for five years. Upon graduation, Callan entered the advertising industry, but always made time to work on his own projects outside of work.

In 2005, he left advertising to be a full-time artist. In his whimsical artworks, Callan depicts everyday situations with humor and skill, but the subjects of his compositions are not humans, rather, they're pigs. "My work combines the real and the imaginary," Callan notes. His inspiration is varied, ranging from the animation from The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" to the work of Leonardo da Vinci. Callan also counts Charles Renee Mackintosh and Joseph Wright among his influences.
