Jon Blake staat bekend om zijn uitgebreide oeuvre, voornamelijk gericht op jonge lezers, en onderscheidt zich door een originele en anarchistische humor. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak onconventionele thema's en trekken lezers mee naar werelden vol lachen en onverwachte wendingen. Naast zijn komische bijdragen, schrijft Blake ook politiek geladen fictie voor een ouder publiek, waarmee hij een veelzijdige beheersing van toon en onderwerp demonstreert. Zijn betrokkenheid bij gemeenschapsprojecten benadrukt verder zijn veelzijdige rol als schrijver en activist.
