Jo Ratcliffe calls herself jocandraw, and she's not lying. The artist has been commissioned to create artwork for Vogue, Stussy, Wallpaper, The New York Times, SXSW and made some fairyfloss pretties for Katy Perry's
Teenage Dream album cover. Ratcliffe (who's based in New York City) paints, draws, designs and dabbles in typography too.
Evidently, there's basically nothing Ratcliffe cannot draw – her portfolio is diverse and extensive – but according to an interview with
computerarts.co.uk she can't draw Cameron Diaz: "I’ve drawn so many faces now that my ability to draw has increased tenfold. There’s not many faces I can’t draw... Although a couple of years ago I had a lot of trouble with Cameron Diaz… Not personally, of course, but she was impossible to draw.”
Her works bounce from lazy-appearing sketches to meticulous and sharp designs, playful to polished, silly to sleek. She's hard to pin down and we like that.
