"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 1 of 2 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. The French blog “Les Echos d'Altaïr” dedicated a post to Peter Andrew Jones in January 2010. This post did not follow the pattern of the others, which consisted of a short biography of the author and a selection of a dozen of his best-known works of art. It presents only two of PAJ’s artworks, and gives as an “unpublished” addition extracts from an interview given by the artist for the TF1 documentary “Les Couleurs de l'Irréel”.

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 3 of 3 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. In the foreground, an interesting, shapeless ice hill looms over the reader. In the background, a chain of mountains seem to form a natural enclosure for another part of this planet, which, although icy, seems to be close to a large star, similar to the sun if it weren’t a reflection of another landscape inside this big red ball. This is how to transform a simple science fiction landscape into an image full of plasticity and meaning, showing the reader that literary criticism is not always a long, theoretical and tedious discussion, but also has its charm. |

Patrouch Jr. This author has a considerable academic output, concentrated in the 1970s and 1980s, massively devoted to Isaac Asimov (1920-1992). Patrouch Jr also published some science fiction short stories in the same period, making him a versatile author who explores science and fiction in parallel. |

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 5 of 5 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. The cover of The Sword of the Samurai by Peter Andrew Jones shows what is perhaps the pit of demons, with a corpse-like samurai in the foreground staring at the reader-player even before the adventure begins. The red lake with skeletons and the unique path that (perhaps) leads to the volcano in the background give a good idea of the dangers that the reader-player will have to overcome. Any wrong turn and the pond will gain another “swimmer”. |

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 4 of 5 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. Peter Andrew Jones created the cover art for many of Thomson’s gamebooks, including “The Sword of the Samurai”. Set on the fictional continent of Khul, in the world of Titan (where the adventures of many other “Fighting Fantasy” gamebooks take place), the reader-player must travel to the Well of Demons, help those in need and fight enemies, then try to win the final showdown for the Dai-Katana. This is a gamebook that is different from the other fantasy titles in the pioneering gamebook franchise, mainly because it switches from Tolkenian fantasy to fantastic feudal Japan. |

After years as a (co-)author, Jamie Thomsom went on to work full-time in video game development at Eidos Interactive, publisher of “Tomb Raider”. In 1999, he raised over £1 million to set up his own game development company, Black Cactus. “Warrior Kings” and “Warrior Kings: Battles” were two of his productions, which he then closed down. He invested in a new start-up, Fabled Lands LLP, an intellectual property development company specialising in his own titles to be released as comics, novels and iPhone apps. |

He is a British writer, editor and games developer. He grew up in Brighton and met one of his co-authors, Mark Smith, at Brighton College. He graduated from the University of Kent with a degree in politics and government. Thomson was assistant editor of “White Dwarf” magazine from 1981 to 1984 and a columnist for Games Workshop’s “Warlock”. There, he was one of the developers of the computer game “The Tower of Despair”. From 1984 onwards, he was a prolific and best-selling author. One of his most successful series was “The Way of the Tiger”, six sequential gamebooks whose protagonist is a ninja. Written with Mark Smith, his gamebooks have been published in Japan, France, the USA, Italy and Sweden. Other gamebook series written by him were “Duel Master”, “Falcon”, (all co-written with Mark Smith) and “Fabled Lands” (co-written with Dave Morris). He also co-wrote three gamebooks for the “Fighting Fantasy” series: “Talisman of Death”, “Sword of the Samurai” (again with Mark Smith) and “The Keep of the Lich Lord” (again with Dave Morris). |

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 3of 3 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. John Varley’s style is very reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein’s, both in its descriptive writing style and in its themes of societies and free love. Winner of the Nebula (1979), Hugo (1980) and Locus (1980) awards, "Titan" is the first book in the “Gaea Trilogy”. It tells of an expedition to Saturn where the protagonists encounter a centaur people, aliens, angels and a strange “torus”, all with sudden changes in behavior for no reason and a lot of unpredictability. Peter Andrew Jones brought to life the cover art, which depicts a strange tentacled monster in the foreground while a vertical ship is in the background. This is perhaps the most enigmatic artwork, as no key element of the narrative is presented explicitly. The strange creature, the vast universe in the background, and the ship in an unusual position, however, disturb and instigate the reader to get to know this new world. |

0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 2 of 3 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. John Varley wrote several novels, his first attempt being “Gas Giant”, and several short stories, collected in the series “The Eight Worlds”. These stories take place a century or two after a race of mysterious and omnipotent aliens, the Invaders, have almost completely eradicated humans from Earth (they consider whales and dolphins to be the superior terrestrial life forms and humans just a dangerous infestation). But human beings have inhabited practically every other corner of the solar system, often using biological modifications learnt, in part, by listening to alien communications. “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank” was adapted and televised on PBS in 1983. In addition, two of his short stories – “Options” and “Blue Champagne” – were adapted into episodes of the Sci-Fi Channel’s short-lived TV series Welcome to Paradox in 1998. In the Hollywood industry, he contributed to the writing of the film Millennium. |

John Varley was born in Austin, Texas, but grew up in Fort Worth and later moved to Port Arthur. He also lived in places like Portland, Eugene, Oregon, New York, San Francisco, Berkeley and Los Angeles throughout his life. He under-graduated from Netherlander High School and then went to Michigan State University thanks to a national merit scholarship. He went on to study Physics and then English, but then dropped out and moved to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. There, he worked at various unskilled jobs, depended on St Anthony’s Mission for meals and even begged. Then he decided to venture out as a writer. |

"ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE DAY" (6 of 6) Sorting through my portfolio of printer's proofs. Another of the paintings I created for Orbit Books/Futura Publications series. In The Ocean of Night, by Gregory Benford. This was a risk - back then, publishers were very demanding on space hardware images, and the idea of making the spaceship very small, was considered risky. But I felt that as long as it was perceived to be in an untypical composition, it could work. It did! W.H.Smith, then the UK's biggest bookshop chain, decided they would "take any book that had PAJ cover art" - this was because the UK's typical book edition length/sales volume was 9,500 copies, but I had accelerated it to just under 100,000 copies. So, whilst cover proofs were used by publisher's sales reps, out on the road in their cars, driving around the county into high street shops to show shop managers the range of books that could be supplied to them, their workload was reduced, as they did not need to bother showing proofs with my paintings on. The shop manager would still need to respond with a 'yes" as the sales rep quickly flipped through their folder of proofs and tick an order box with a Biro pen, but didn't have to stop and consider "yes or no." Publishers still supplied me with copies for my portfolio because whilst they didn't need to, they still got printed, embedded in the overall printing procedure for all the publisher's books that month. Available, signed by me, if you'd like one. Price on application. |

"ARCHIVE MAINTENANCE DAY" (5 of 6) Still sorting through my portfolio of printer's proofs. It was always great fun creating cover art for Larry Niven's novels. One of the paintings I created for Orbit Books/Futura Publications series. These rarities were used by publisher's sales reps, out on the road in their cars, driving around the county into high street shops to show shop managers the range of books that could be supplied to them. The manager would respond with a 'yes\no" as the sales rep quickly flipped through their briefcase folder of proofs until the shop manager completed his/her choice. As a courtesy, publishers supplied me with copies for my portfolio. Available, signed by me, if you'd like one. Price on application. |

The sombre atmosphere of the scene emphasises the tone of mystery and darkness. The unusual presence of a knight apparently threatening a defenceless lady also makes the reader curious. It is precisely in this environment that the reader will explore this universe through some illuminated parts. |

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 3 of 4 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. The Gorean Saga is a long-running series of adventure and science fantasy novels, which began in December 1966 with “Tarnsman of Gor”, encountered a cancellation in its continuity for many years, until it was resumed in 2001 with the publication of “Witness of Gor”. In addition to this, Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series called “Telnarian Histories”, as well as other works of fiction, non-fiction and a collection of short stories. Norman said that the three biggest influences on his work are Homer, Freud and Nietzsche. According to him, the books in the “Gor” series are also intellectual, philosophical and psychological. Themes such as slavery and characteristics of modern society are criticised, very reminiscent of the lifestyle of Ancient Rome. |

"0 BLOG DO ESTUDIO" Blog article 5 of 6 by Pedro Panhoca. http://www.peterandrewjones.net/blog-sa2024.htm. In Brazil, the French edition (with another creation by PAJ) played a key role in creating a gamebook culture in the country: Osmar Saraiva, publisher of Marques Saraiva publishing house, was at the Frankfurt book fair and came across this edition, realising that this type of playful book could have a reader-player audience in Brazil. Saraiva was thus a “merchant of RPG culture” for Brazil, and from Rio de Janeiro the gamebooks soon gained readers-players all over the country. |

Whereas book titles used to be at the top, in this gamebook the title is in the centre of the image. Peter Andrew Jones masterfully “stretched” the body of the conjured dragon to take the usual place of the titles, and his striking art made this (and some other) gamebooks eye-catching from cover to text. A later edition also had its cover art altered by the same artist, just as striking. |

Criticised by some for being too simple (since its authors Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson were not writers, but game designers) and acclaimed by lovers of nerd/geek culture in the 80s and 90s, this gamebook was a revolution in its time, and overcame the limitations of the first computer games and video games of the time. In this “solitaire RPG”, like all the others in the pioneering “Fighting Fantasy” series of gamebooks, the reader makes the hero's decisions and faces the consequences of their choices. There are many endings, but when you reach the 400th paragraph (the mini-chapters in the form of text boxes that make up this textual hybrid), the reader-player knows their best performance. |
