Hey there, I’m Julia Kluge,
an illustrator and artist from Leipzig

I like to do editorial illustration and children’s book illustration. My expressive illustration style translates complex ideas into dynamic images, adding new layers to a subject. With a lot of love for abstraction, I develop visual worlds in which bold geometric designs meet unusual characters.

I also accompany events with graphic recording and give workshops on drawing and printing.
