In Memorium: Jeffrey Catherine Jones





Renowned artist Jeffrey Catherine Jones, whose work is best known from the late 1960s through 2000s, has passed away. Jones struggled with inner personal demons and ultimately underwent sex reassignment surgery in the late 1990’s. Her talent was never in question, and she provided hundreds of covers for different types of books, as well as venturing into fine art and sculpture. The great Frank Frazetta considered Jones "the greatest living painter”.

The portrait illustration of Jones (right) is by Michael Netzer. The Catacombs extends its condolences to her family, friends and fans.
