    Discussing his evolution as an artist over two decades, Jones said, "My style has certainly grown over the years, much like a tree, you could say. It's still me, but it's a me that has been weathered and matured by experiences. I'd like to think that my recent designs have more subtlety, more layers to them, while still maintaining that core element of playfulness."
