About Jesse Brown
Jesse Brown grew up in Shepherd's Bush, but has been living in North London for a while now.
He studied graphic design at Kingston, and ran a successful graphic design agency for several years, with a strong emphasis on illustration.
Covid gave him a chance to reevaluate, and since then he has been building a career as an illustrator and artist.
Jesse's illustrations reflect everyday life and the little interactions between people on the street. He loves to wander around the city observing people going about their daily lives, the urban landscape, the buildings, the parks and squares and ever present building sites. Sometimes armed with a sketchbook, sometimes a camera, Jesse records those little scenes, and then translates them into life on paper, using a range of media: watercolour, ink, coloured pencils and markers.
Jesse has collaborated on commercial projects for clients including Bamford, The BBC, The Connaught, Marriott Hotels and Pump Street Chocolate. He has also created illustrations for magazines, designed wine labels, wedding invites and murals.
He has exhibited at several galleries and art fairs in London and the UK.
Jesse's career as an illustrator and artist is very much a work in progress. He is continually trying to hone his style, experimenting with subjects and materials. He is always on the look out for new and interesting projects; he would particularly love to illustrate a recipe book for example!
