He was born in Dublin, but a lifelong inability to sit still led him to live and work in Hong Kong, Sydney and London before settling in Barcelona.

His work has been published in “Time”, “The South China Morning Post”, “The Saturday Evening Post”, “Atlanta Magazine”, “Fortune”, “Insight”, “GQ”, “California Lawyer”, “Men's Fitness ”, “Financial Times” and “Washington Post”. He has worked on major advertising campaigns for “Vodafone”, “RTE”, “Smirnoff” and “Merck”. When he is not illustrating, he writes novels for young readers. He is the author of the “Wednesday Tales” trilogy, which has been published in more than a dozen languages, and “The Hidden Boy,” both from Harper Collins. His novel “The Laughter Palace” was shortlisted for the “Bisto Book Award”. Jon's illustration work has been recognized by Creative Quarterly, the News Design Society, Communication Arts and Illustration Directory.
