Hi, I’m Chris Jones


I’m an illustrator with an expressive and humorous style that is fun and engaging. I’m equally comfortable working on picture books, or sequentially in comics/cartoons.

Born near Toronto, Canada, and raised on comic books, red licorice, and Saturday morning cartoons, I’ve been drawing with a passion ever since I could hold a crayon!

In my spare moments, when I’m not spending time with my wonderful family, I am usually working on a personal art project. My most recent project is Snowflakes, a super fun all-ages comic filled with imaginative, smart, and unusual kids!

I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, and a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
