Emma Jones is a cartoonist and sound artist from Santa Fe, New Mexico, now based in Portland, Oregon. A graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies (MFA, 2015) and a former community radio engineer, she blends reportage, collage, and hand-lettered essays to explore place, memory, and listening. Her webcomic series Paper Weather built a dedicated readership from 2019 to 2021 before being collected by a micro-press.
Jones's illustrations and comics have appeared in The Nib, ShortBox, and multiple small-press anthologies. She received a Society of Illustrators Silver Medal (2023) and was nominated for an Ignatz Award (2025) for Outstanding Artist. When not drawing, she leads zine-making workshops at the Independent Publishing Resource Center and bikes the Springwater Corridor with a handheld recorder in her bag.
