Over the past decade or so, Julia Rothman has become a household name amongst illustrators. An illustrator and an author, her work is manifold and includes an illustrated column, Scratch, in The New York Times, more than 10 illustrated books, and co-founding the Women Who Draw project (a directory of female-identifying artists). She’s also a seasoned pattern designer with her designs printed on products for brands as big as Urban Outfitters, The Land of Nod, and Garnet Hill.\n\n\n\n

Based in Brooklyn, New York, her work is rooted in her background and creative upbringing. A colorful documentation of the people she meets and talks to, her illustrations are a celebration of the power of community and togetherness. “I always feel strange about the fact that I haven\u2019t really lived anywhere else besides New York City,” she admitted once in an interview with Grain Edit. “I feel like maybe I haven\u2019t experienced enough. But every time I visit anywhere else, I\u2019m always happy to come home at the end of the trip.”\n\n\n\n
