Arthur Jones was born in Plainview, Texas, raised in Jefferson City, Missouri, and attended Rhode Island School of Design. Later he lived in London for a short while, Chicago for a longer while and currently calls Brooklyn home. Recently he's worked as a designer at Big Spaceship and New York Times.com; made animated videos for Time.com, Yo Gabba Gabba!, and the Center for Investigative Reporting; created visuals for This American Life's live stage performances in New York and Chicago; attended MacDowell Artist Colony for two months; collaborated with Milky Elephant on various advertising and animation related projects; contributed an essay to this book and artwork to these books.

For the last five years Arthur has co-hosted the Post-it Note Reading Series with his friend Starlee Kine. The event is half reading, half slideshow, where writers present stories illustrated by Arthur on Post-it Notes. It works a little like a comic being read out loud or a movie being shown at 1 frame a minute. In October 2011 the Reading Series will become a book, Post-it Note Diaries published by Plume Paperbacks.

In 2010 Arthur was selected to participate in the Fox Inkubation Program, a joint venture between 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Broadcasting Company. It serves as a lab environment for new animated sitcoms.
