Jo Brown, Illustrator

About Jo Brown, illustrator.

​​
      
​I am an experienced illustrator (more than 25 years) 
I work from my home studio in Seaford, East Sussex, UK.

   If you ever meet me, you will know from my accent that I am forever a Northerner!

    I represent myself, and I work with contracts, licences etc.
 

   I  am a Member of the Association of Illustrators (AOI).


Jo Brown original artwork3 Bears by Jo Brown
I have illustrated 40 ish children's books of all sorts, including fiction/ non-fiction/ novelty/touch and feel/pop-up.- some of these were also written by me. 
I love drawing, painting and just about everything in between. I love bright colour and pattern and texture, creating characters and stories and I absolutely love picture books.
(I love all books actually, but picture books 
have ...um... pictures in them)
​ 
Beyond books, I have illustrated packaging, for food and for toys and games, and also a range of food treats for dogs and cats.

I  also design for 
stationery, giftwrap and textiles.
I have an MA in Fashion and Textiles, and have always loved colour and pattern, and can put patterns into repeat.
I have illustrated several very large ranges (I mean HUGE) of greetings cards for a major wholesaler; and another range of children's birthday cards I illustrated for an independent card publisher was a Henries finalist.


I prefer to work initially with paper paints and pencils, as I like the unexpected effects using real materials can give, but I can supply artwork digitally. You can read more about my process in my blog.
