Jody Barton studied illustration and graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts and then The Royal College of Arts. He quickly went on to establish himself as one of the UK's best known - and least employable - graphic artists. A talent for words as well as visuals gives his pieces an often polemic and confrontational tone.

With wide ranging interests including the production of self published and distributed 'crazy pamphlets', electronic media work for major clients such as MTV and a continuing interest in subculture arts from around the world. His work often features parades of distorted and comedic grotesques - a rich and dark world of both humour and paranoia.

Jody Barton is increasingly interested in working in the cross-over area between commercial art and the gallery show. His contributions to live painting projects such as the Matsuri series and Graffiti Meets Windows show this commitment.
