Julian is an illustrator living and working in Los Angeles. He recently graduated from the Otis College of Art and Design in LA.
About “Death, or a Murder of Crows” (bottom):
This work explores the many different nature symbols that people from cultures all over the world used to represent universal themes such as death, power, and wisdom. I was interested to discover just how important a role nature played in the mythologies, folklores, and traditions of these various cultures. As I researched the symbols I was fascinated by how the seemingly arbitrary plants and animals came to be associated with certain ideas in always interesting and sometimes surprising ways.

It feels like I’m looking at children’s book illustrations, then I’m compelled to look deeper and deeper. I’m just captivated by the top painting. Love it.
