About me:

Hi, my name is Josephine but my friends call me JoJo! I’m an illustrator and vis dev artist from a small island in northern Norway who draws whimsical characters and fun environments. I work primarily in animation, currently as a lead background artist over at Lonely Bros Animation. And recently I’m branching into graphic novels with my original series “JoJo the Micro”.

Outside of creating heartfelt stories, I love hiking, macro photography and black salty licorice.

“JoJo is an absolute juggernaut”
— Mason Beuchamp-Ramos, Director of "My Friend Fabien" at LBA
