John Jennings is a retired associate professor in the Department of History at Trent University, former member of the Canadian Equestrian Team, and former member for Ontario on the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

"What do I love about Jennings' work? The vibrant use of color, the kinetic sense of motion even in static portraits like 'Wildseed Lion,' the sense of strength and playfulness in the compositions. Also, as Tananarive Due says in her introduction, 'A survey of Jennings' art is a survey of black popular and political life,' including African American superheroes. Also, it's just damn beautiful work." Jeff VanderMeer, electricliterature.com
