" Locusts don't tend to bring good news. The artist Locust Jones is no exception."

“A recent newspaper article described Locust Jones’ manic ink drawings as expressionistic and epic 21st century ‘harbingers of doom.’ An expatriate New Zealander who currently lives in Australia, Jones’ large-scale panoramas of battlefields, cityscapes and devastated natural environments draw equally from graffiti art and mural painting – with more than a hint of Dada-esque, automatist mark-making.”
From www.coca.org.nz

... Jones tackles the big picture head on; his epic drawing is a tortured condensation of everything that is wrong with the world. Climate change and war morph together in his huge dark inky blobs, a toxic blend of apocalyptic mushroom clouds and the ghosts of old growth forests….”
Tracey Clement – Sydney Morning Herald

“… Jones is an expressionist with a refreshing sincerity and frankness, an unconstrained drive to create (albeit often drug-induced), and admirable passion for both his art and its subject.”
Renée Gerlich for Salient Magazine

“I am obviously not a landscape artist!”
