GB Jones

G.B. Jones (b. 1965, Bowmanville, Ontario) is a Canadian musician (drummer and guitarist), filmmaker, illustrator, multimedia artist, and publisher currently based in Toronto. She is best known as the founder of the post-punk band Fifth Column (active between 1981 and 2002) and co-publisher or queer punk zine J.D.s with Bruce LaBruce (1985 to 1991), which coined the term "homocore" and featured her iconic "Tom Girls" series of drawings, reimagining Tom of Finland's hyper-masculine gay aesthetics with equally hyperbolized, exaggerated butch and female lesbian characters. Many notable international museums and galleries featured solo and group exhibitions of G.B. Jones art since the early 1990s, including Kunsthalle Exnergasse in Vienna, New York City's White Columns, and Kunstverein München in Germany.
