Jody Barton
Posted by HvassHannibal on February 4th 2010 in Other, Things we like
About a year ago we got an email from a famous English artist. He said he was moving to Denmark, and so he wanted to come round our studio to talk about illustration. We invited him over for a chat and a cup of tea and we thought it would be a one time thing, but the next day he was back! And the next day… and the day after that too! Before long he would come over unannounced at all times of the day, especially around afternoon cake time. We call him Kramer, but his real name is Jody Barton, and apart from being an amazing artist, he is really funny and charming. He quickly become a very dear friend of ours, but sadly he doesn’t come round quite as often as he used to, because he has found himself a studio of his own in Copenhagen. You might know his work from the cover artwork of Phoenix’s latest album, or from his weird and mad stories about Embryo Boy… Have a look at his work here
