body, puppets and children's art. Recent drawing work has included watercolour and ink images
that take an X-ray view of the body, revealing mechanically enhanced limbs and organs,
smoking Jelly faces and babies.
Jon is interested in the future of the (his) body and the role of
technology in enhancing it.
