Peter
Andrew Jones is one of the world's most experienced Artists
historically known for hundreds of Science Fiction & Fantasy book
covers for authors such as Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke created
over a quarter-century and more for major publishers worldwide, &
Roleplay Games covers for phenomena such as Fighting Fantasy, Software
Games package designs for Virgin, Sony, Entertaining Arts and US Gold
and TV programmes he helped create, including the Two Ronnies Christmas
Show, The Tripods, The Stanley Baxter Show, Horizon and many more and
posters for movies "The Sword & The Sorcerer" and "Alligator II".
Sothebys & Christies auction his Aviation Art for The Royal Air
Force Benevolent Fund.
He's sold literally millions of books and
other products with his cover art (we calculate very roughly
800,000,000 million items). His studio has been a vibrant commercial
success since before he completed his Art School degree course at St.
Martins School of Art in London in 1974. Shortly afterwards he set up
and directed his own Limited Company & Licensing Agency with his
wife Debbie who managed "the office", licensing rights to clients in
Tokyo, New York and all major countries in between.
Then in 1999
a chance encounter with a beautiful Heron on a morning country walk
collided with a long-held desire to be "self published" inspiring him
to cease working for "other publishers" and recreate the original
"Atelier" as before the industrial revolution when Artists interfaced
with their public on a personal basis creating high-quality handmade
items in the studio, inspired solely by imagination, using traditional
painting techniques dating from antiquity and Renaissance times, but
now presented in a very contemporary way using modern technology.
He
paints original paintings for a global collector list and creates
handcrafted publications; books, hand-embellished Limited Edition
Prints and Greetings Cards, published only by Peter Andrew Jones
