Description

Jon J Muth - Lightning Rods, 1993, Oil and Gold on Prepared Paper, 22 x 30 (Image Area 8 x 7), Signed. Copyright Jon J Muth.

Jon J Muth was born in 1960 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was educated as a painter. He had his first one-man exhibit of paintings and drawings at the invitation of Wilmington College when he was eighteen.

For the past fifteen years he has concentrated his illustration work in the area of comic books. His comics work has been published by MARVEL/EPIC, DC/VERTIGO, ECLIPSE BOOKS, NBM, DONALD M. GRANT PUBLISHERS, INC., and, in Japan, KODANSHA. Articles about his work have appeared in the NEW YORK TIMES, NEWSWEEK, PRINT, SPEAKEASY, INFASHION, CARPE NOCTEM, NEW AMERICAN ART, and AMERICAN FILM MAGAZINE. In 1998, Muth founded THE AUGUST COMPANY, an organization to provide for development in the arts, which has produced a critically acclaimed world premiere CD and published the work of several new writers. For BBC educational television, in 1991, he created a short graphic story, SHARIF AUGUSTUS, for which he also produced the music and narrated. In 1994, Muth was commissioned by the CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, as part of their centennial celebration, to paint a portrait of music director, Maestro Jesus Lopez-Cabos. In 1995, he created IMAGINARY MAGNITUDE, a surreal comic strip based on his relationship with his son, Nikolai. This ran in Japan for 3 years in the manga-magazine AFTERNOON and led him to concentrate his current llustration work in the area of children's books, where he has garnered international acclaim and various awards of merit.

Currently he lives in upstate New York, chasing the clouds from his brushes with his wife Bonnie and his children, Nikolai and Adelaine.
