Episode notes

What is it like to translate your illustration work into animation and film? How can artists respond thoughtfully to the world around them? What happens when a short film suddenly goes viral? And what can you do when painting a mural and it starts to rain?!

As a painter, printmaker, animator and film maker, Jo Peel has an incredible catalogue of work. Whether it is a 300m mural for the Olympic Park or an award-winning animated short film, each artwork is recognisable for Jo’s signature hand-painted style and thoughtful response to the urban context.

Jo was very open and honest about her experiences as an artist. We spoke about her Growing City installation for the Festival of The Mind, her collaborative mural at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, her award-winning short film ‘Things Change’ (and how it went unexpectedly viral!) and much more.
