Jolliffe, Gray b. 1937

Gray Jolliffe original cartoon artwork

Gray Jolliffe spent his formative years in the United States where he developed a talent for drawing aeroplanes. After school in England he went on to study architecture but gave it up after four years when he was seduced by the advertising business. He worked at a variety of creatively inclined agencies as a copywriter and was eventually a creative director at WCRS, one of London's most prestigious agencies. He won several awards, notably for 'Smash' and BMW. During this time he tried directing TV commercials but the consensus was he could not direct traffic.
