About this author

My name is John Jackson and I am a concept & cover artist and author. I often use the signature name "Johnny Atomic", just to make me a little easier to find:)

My latest works include "Z is for Zombie" and "V is for Vampire", which I illustrated and were written by Adam-Troy Castro.

In my time I have helped develop theme park rides for Walt Disney World and illustrated for the Nebula Awards. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. I do exactly what I want most in the world: Create the new and the fantastic.

Several years ago, I co-founded (with Ken Chapman) League Entertainment, an intellectual property development & Publishing House in Tampa Florida.

I'm a lover of all things independent. Especially when they are independent of archa...more


I believe my good friend and cohort Phil Elmore is about to start writing his new science fiction thriller "Augment" about a future where cybernetic body modification is a rampant and dangerous social problem. It is one of the best premises I've seen in a long time, and his handling of it will, I'm certain, be superb. Additional good news. It is my honor to be able to do the cover art for "Augm read more »

When I was young, every little boy I knew wanted to draw comics (these days many little girls do too, and that’s awesome) but I had a serious advantage over all of them.

One of the finest biographies I've ever read. Considering the subject matter (an ancient culture that kept few records, which the Chinese tried their best to wipe out), it's mind-boggling the level of research needed to produce such a book. Further,...more

Not a tutorial by any means. Bridgman gives us a series of breakdowns from perfect anatomical accuracy through more manageable shapes representative of the original structures, all the way to "masses" that take in the totality of a large anatomical g...more

In this entertaining and incredibly informative book, David takes his empty headed friend Mugg on a trip through the (comically questionable) history and application of perspective. Even though his book carries the power of a high level college cours...more

I just finished "Raw Fury" by Phil Elmore, and I really liked it.

To understand how amazing that is, you've got to know that if a month ago someone accused me of reading an Executioner novel I would have slapped them for insulting me. Stories about a...more
