Jealous was founded in Crouch End, North London in 2008 by Dario Illari[3] and Jacquie Ryle, who enlisted the help of screenprinter Matthew Rich.

In November 2014 Jealous Print Studio and artist Anthony Burrill[8] were invited to participate in a launch by the Crafts Council in the House of Commons.

[12] In 2010 Jealous collaborated with London design agency Graphic Thought Facility to produce the Extraordinary Heroes Exhibition[13] at the Imperial War Museum.

[15] Further notable artist collaborations in the studio include Kelley Walker, Chris Levine, Rose Wylie, Margaret Calvert, Quentin Blake, Frances Stark, Cary Kwok and Judy Blame.

[16] Previous winners include Adam Dix who has also been recognised by the Future Map and Catlin Art Prize; Ann-Marie James who has since been awarded the Derek Hill Foundation Scholarship at The British School at Rome and is represented by Karsten Schubert Gallery; Charlie Billingham, whose work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy and Saatchi Gallery; and Erica Donovan, whose work includes a commission to transform The Artist's Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale.

Previous year's portfolios have included submissions from artists such as Rob Ryan, Marion Deuchars, Magnus Gjoen and Rose Blake.

They were asked to create a visual focal point and accompanying limited edition print in preparation for the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, co-chaired by Angelina Jolie and Foreign Secretary William Hague.

In 2016, Jealous produced print editions by artists Ben Eine and Charming Baker to raise funds for charities in aid of homelessness.

The three magazine covers, reading ‘Celebrate’, in Ben Eine's recognisable typography, were later produced as screenprinted editions and sold in aid of The Big Issue.
