Yesterday Jeffrey Catherine Jones died. She was an artist who transitioned in 1990. Frank Frazetta once called her the worlds greatest living painter.

Perhaps like me the name didn't ring any bells, but once I searched out some of her work I recognized them immediately. So many of the paperback covers of fantasy tales I read back in the 70's had her name on them. Also she was one of the artists that made National Lampoon such a hit in its hey day. A truly remarkable person.

Rest easy.

I Remember Some Of Her Work

But I had no idea about her personal life. I really HATE IT when somebody younger than me dies.

Well spotted, Grover, and yeah, may she rest easy,

Sad

I looked at her biography on her website and she comes across as not only a remarkable artist but also a very modest person given her obvious talent. I had heard of her but hadn't appreciated how good an artist she was. It's so sad to read of her death.
