Patrick Jones is an artist and illustrator from Belfast. He drew two strips for the Belfast anthology Ximoc in the early 1980s: "Deep Sorrow", a barbarian fantasy piece influenced by Frank Frazetta and Richard Corben and executed with a ballpoint pen, and "The Ballad of Big Bad Jed", a western narrated in verse and illustrated in a cartoony, clear-line style. After serving in the Merchant Navy, he moved to London to find work as an illustrator. He now lives and works in Brisbane, Australia.
