Introductory Blurb
Born January 18, 1935 in England, Eddie Jones joined a Liverpool advertising agency at 16 and discovered SF fandom a few years later in 1955. For the next several years he spent his spare time turning out illustration after illustration for possibly every fanzine published in the late 50s, attending conventions, and generally enjoying himself. "Around 1958 I found that people would actually pay for my illustrations," he says, "so for the next 10 years I played at being a semi-professional SF illustrator. At that time the money was poor, and it was almost impossible to make a living out of SF art, so I kept working in advertising and did professional art in my spare time – the extra money helped to pay my convention bar bills." In 1969 he won TAFF and attended his first U.S. Worldcon, and also became art editor for a new British SF magazine called "Vision of Tomorrow”. He quit as production director for a large Liverpool advertising agency and from then until today has worked full-time in the field of SF and fantasy illustration. He has produced over 600 magazine and pocket book covers, published in Britain, Germany, the U.S., France, Sweden, Holland, Italy and Japan.

He also helped direct the Seacon artshow in Brighton, England this past August, and that's where I met him. We had a chance to talk formally (we'd spent the previous evening in the hotel bar) on Monday morning just prior to artshow check-out, and the following is a transcribed excerpt from that interview.
