Jo Ratcliffe is a London based artist known for her kaleidoscopic animations, strange hand-drawn characters, and spindly scenes sometimes overlain atop live action footage.
She is frequently commissioned by fashion labels and magazines to create art films, animations and editorials that appear both online and in print.
Ratcliffe is also an animation director and designer for notable clients such as Lady Gaga, Kenzo, Barneys New York, Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton.
Born in Berkshire, England, Jo Ratcliffe studied painting and print making at Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London.
[1] Ratcliffe wielded this same hand-drawn aesthetic in her early editorial work for London-based fashion-art magazine, Dazed and Confused, to which she regularly contributed, incorporating illustration into graphics.
