10 MINUTES WITH - Jo BROWN

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE ON BECOMING AN ILLUSTRATOR?

I’ve always loved art. It was the only thing I was interested in. But it was at college during my foundation course that I decided to become an illustrator because I saw you could apply your work to different things like cards or magazines or books.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE ILLUSTRATOR?

I love Brian Froud. His illustrations of fairies and pixies and goblins are really magical. He’s so imaginative. I also loved the films he was involved in when I was a child, like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.

WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
