About

Jolby & Friends

Jolby is a collaborative design and illustration studio based in Portland, Oregon. Josh Kenyon & Colby Nichols began their partnership in 2005 after meeting at the Art Institute in San Diego. They combine their talents as Art Directors, Designers and Illustrators, utilizing their experience from working within agencies over the course of their careers. The two have exhibited their illustrations in galleries all over the world and have produced award-winning designs for clients including Disney, Intel, T-Mobile, Pitchfork and AIGA. They try to achieve two goals within the work they create: "Tell a memorable story" and "make people smile".

Josh and Colby love traveling to give talks and workshops at schools and for events. For booking, please contact Jolby directly. You can also contact Jolby about licensing new and previously created artwork. Their studio is run out of Fieldhouse, a joint space shared with Lizy Gershenzon and Travis Kochel (Scribble Tone) and Chris Forrette (of Cuban Council).
