Patrick J. Jones is an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy artist and
teacher. His work is collected and published worldwide, and his
client list includes such companies as Disney, Lucasfilm and Roc
books. Patrick grew up in the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland,
during the violent 30-year conflict known as "the Troubles".
Influenced by artists Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta, he spent
his days in the sanctuary of rooftops, drawing and dreaming of
becoming a fantasy artist, to the din of street riots below.
Patrick later spent two years in the merchant navy, after which he
moved to London and worked as an illustrator for 15 years before
travelling the world once more. Today, Patrick is settled in
Brisbane, Australia, where he lives with his wife Cathy and their
two scruffy dogs. When he's not painting, he teaches art at two
universities in the city. He is the author of several books,
including Sci-fi and FantasyOil Painting Techniques.Foreword
