Künstler. Er war als "Alle-mal-malen-Mann" in der Region Bonn berühmt. Er zog Abend für Abend durch Bonner Kneipen und Cafés und bot den Gästen dort seine Dienste an. Für wenig Geld skizzierte er seine Kunden, deutete ihre Handschriften oder Träume und betrieb Gesichtsanalysen. In Bonns Kneipenszene war Loh eine Berühmtheit. Meist sprach er die Leute mit dem gleichen Satz „Alle mal malen hier?" an, der ihm auch seinen Spitznamen eingebracht hatte. Loh starb am 8. März 2018 infolge eines Sturzes im Alter von 86 Jahren. Die Urnenbeisetzung erfolgte am 14. April 2018.

Painter. He gained fame in the Bonn region of Germany as the "everyone paints man". In the evenings, he would travel through Bonn's bars and cafés, offering his services to the guests there. For a scant fee, he sketched his customers, interpreted their handwriting or dreams and carried out facial analysis, becoming a celebrity in Bonn's bar scene. He usually addressed people with the same phrase, "Everyone paint here?", which also earned him his nickname. Born Ferdinand Johannes Godde, his professional name was Jan Loh. He had no professional training as an artist but started with much talent at age eleven. After World War II, he was employed as a government agent working with printing machines for thirty years. As an elderly man, he died after a fall. On August 25, 2020, the city council of Bonn elected in his honor an area behind city hall as Jan-Loh-Platz
