Illustrator Portsmouth

Josie Keable (Unic0rn Vomit) is an Illustrator & Tattoo Artist, who currently lives in a seaside town along the South Coast. She loves to explore the natural shapes and colours the world provides, whilst also referencing popular culture.

​

She graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a First class degree in BA (Hons) Illustration in 2018 and also completed the training requirements to be recognised as an 'Adobe Certified Associate, Visual Design Specialist CC 2015'. She was involved with Aspex Gallery’s ‘Surface Tension’ and ‘PONToon’ projects, and also helped out with their weekly ‘Mini Makers’ workshops. When exhibiting at New Designers 2018, she was awarded the ‘Belmond Loves!’ award.

 

Since graduating, Josie undertook a tattoo apprenticeship and is currently tattooing out of Old Sarum Tattoo & Piercing, Salisbury, where she now does vegan-friendly cruelty-free tattoos. Not one to limit herself, Josie likes to work in an array of styles including full-colour, anime/manga, dotwork, watercolour and traditional.
