== Early life ==
Peter Andrew Jones was born in Islington, London, the son of Reginald and Catherine Jones, his father an engineer. Showing interest in the visual arts from an early age, he describes the London of his boyhood as 'noisy and grey' with little for children to do, and took to painting to fill time and "colour his world".〔 He also began to develop a lifelong love of aviation and space technology encouraged by commercial Airfix kits and drawing fighter aircraft at RAF Leuchers in Scotland. At school he continued to pursue his interest in art, and won numerous school prizes for his work. A trip with his parents to London's National and Tate Galleries at around the age of twelve further fixed his interest in a future career in the field.〔
With the encouragement of his art tutor, Jones attended St. Martin's School of Art in London in 1970, where he studied graphic design, graduating in 1974.〔 At the college, a visiting lecturer suggested Jones combine his interest in realism with imaginative skills, drawing Jones into the Fantasy and Science Fiction fields. Whilst at St. Martins Jones took the decision to "become an illustrator". Within a month he was producing his first commercial work for Puffin Books, the cover for Penelope Farmer's ''A Castle of Bone''.〔
