About Phill Jupitus
Phill Jupitus drifted aimlessly onto national television in the mid 1990s after trying a number of different careers in the arts on for size. Unfortunately for him television was not that challenging, quite comfortable and paid very well so there he remained until around 2019, also along the way, dabbling in film, writing, theatre, music, poetry and breakfast radio.
Having started as a self taught cartoonist/designer in the early 1980s, he had often wondered if perhaps he had missed out by not undertaking a formal arts education. So he enrolled on a BA course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. Despite never completing the course he persists in making art to this day.
He has been made an honorary Doctor of Arts by both Essex University and the University of Kent, and lives on the East coast of Scotland with his wife and an overly demanding Labrador.
