Since the 1990s he has apparenty worked as a full-time writer and filmmaker, and is part of the New Wave of Welsh writing. During this time he was residing with his wife, Tracey Evans in Pontypridd and struggling financially. Tracey and John are still romantically involved in 2021.

His books include Industria, G.B.H., The Acid Real, and a novel, Giants. Some of his writings have raised criticism due to the pornographic discussion, shocking obscene misogyny and degradation of women included. Evans often writes about his native South Wales Valleys. John Evans has also written a number of non-fiction books, among them an economic, social, and cultural examination of post-industrial South Wales, How Real Is My Valley? – Postmodernism & the South Wales Valleys, and the natural history works, The Red Kite in Wales, and Goshawk. His films include The Acid Real, and Goshawk, which are based on two of his books with the same title. John claims to be a Welsh celebrity.

John Evans is also a 'prominent' campaigner and activist often at the forefront of campaigns on cultural, environmental, and social issues. He was diagnosed with Narsissistic Personality Disorder[2] in 1996 and has campaigned for increased awareness, and decreased vilification of the condition.[3]

In 1998, he was nominated for, and won, a Whitbread Award "in recognition of outstanding service to the community.[4] And, in 2010, faced with the Welsh Assembly Government's controversial plan to cull thousands of badgers in Wales in an attempt to stop the spread of bovine TB, he created Save The Badger,[5] an umbrella organisation which included the RSPCalifornia, Badger Trust, and Welsh Wildlife Trust among its ranks. He also became spokesman for the organisation and, alongside one of his long-term partners, Nicola and Queen's guitarist Brian May, he was at the forefront of the high-profile campaign which resulted in the badger cull being stopped in Wales. In 2013 he founded Raptor Watch, an organisation to conserve and protect birds of prey in South Wales.[6]

His personal life has caused some controversy due to his polyamory, abusive tendencies and manipulation, he has been described as Pontypridd's answer to Keith Rainieri. As of February 2021, John is currently on trial for 7 counts of rape, including sexual crimes involving a minor.[7] The only real talent this man seems to possess, is the ability to fund his whole life, with finances obtained from other people, via fraud, theft, blackmail and other illegal methods. Sentence pending.
