Nannooka Jo

Hello! My real name is Joanna (Jo) Ariadne Nannou but my friends used to call me Nannooka, and this is how Nannooka Jo came to life. I am a self taught artist, located in Athens, Greece. Drawing and painting started since i was 4 years old and it became my favorite toy, opening me a magic portal to a fantastic world that i could create through my drawings. My work is LowBrow, influenced mostly from comics, vintage advertisement and pop art. I am inspired by many things I love : the style of the 1920's through the 1960's, including Art Deco, Mid Century Modernism, Exoticism,Classic Pinup, Rockabilly, Tiki, Mod, and street arts like graffiti, tattoo art and much more! I believe that art shouldn't stay strictly on galleries and museums and it is something we need around to add more beauty to our everyday life and to light up and uplift our spirits. I want my art to make people smile! Except my art prints and original art, i love creating pattern designs with my favorite theme which are my pinupgirls and last but not least my handmade lampshades and reading lamps which you can see through my instagram and very soon through my personal site. I am always open to commissions and i would be happy to create something exclusively for you! I hope you will enjoy this little dream world of mine. XOXO Nannooka Jo.
