Jethro first arrived on Earth last century, landing in a new-town in southern England. A fascination with nature, particularly the ocean and it’s fauna and flora, pattern, process and the universe have persisted into his adult life and continuing artistic endeavours.
Hands on drawing and making are at the core of Jethro's approach to the illustration and model making activities he undertakes. Whether it is typography, detailed psychedelic and surreal models, sculpture, art-direction, jewellery or underwater photography, he is always interested in discovering and trying new methods and techniques to facilitate his creative output for clients and himself.
Although primarily self-taught, Jethro used his time studying general art and design, fashion, screen-printing and animation to expand his understanding of materials and processes, as well as developing other creative skills and his unique style.
His commercial work has been commissioned for a wide variety of purposes and clients worldwide.
