His work appeared in the anthologies Gay Comix, Negative Burn and, of course, Meatmen. If you don't blink you will also see his illustrations in the first Fallen Angel by Titan Media.

Jon's graphic novel Teleny and Camille is now published by Northwest Press. Teleny and Camille is a 248 page black and white adaptation of the anonymous Victorian novel Teleny attributed to Oscar Wilde and his circle.

He lives in super funky West Oakland, California.
