Prints and Gifts

Since graduating from the Children's book illustration MA at Cambridge School of Art in 2010, Jo has established herself as a successful greetings card publisher and freelance illustrator.

Jo's business 'Jo Clark Design' started off with Jo visiting shops showing a small range of ten floral cards to garden centres and gift shops. Four years later Jo now invests her time into exhibiting her products at trade shows up and down the country where her products are becoming a sort after 'must have' for many retailers in the industry, in the UK and abroad.

Jo takes on private and commercial commissions, ranging from branding design to pet portraits. She has illustrated a range of contemporary botanical cards for the 'Royal Botanical Gardens' and most recently illustrated a range for the fantastic company 'Magpie' due for release in September 2014. Jo has also been commissioned to illustrate for the next 'Debbie Bliss' knitting book due for release in October 2014.

Inspiration for Jo's cute hand drawn animal designs comes from her love of animals and nature, the adventures of friends' pets and Daisy her cat. Jo is looking forward expanding her product range and publishing her children's stories in the near future. Jo hopes to spread a little happiness through her adorable and charismatic animal characters and aims to bring colour to your day and a smile to your face.
