Since 2009 I've worked as a freelance illustrator for a wide range of publishing, entertainment, and media clients, designing and illustrating book covers for Lucasfilm and Harlequin, and creating marketing materials for Everyman Cinemas in London.

I designed concept art that was translated by 3D artists for use in digital collections and game environments, and I continue to pursue bold, creative projects across publishing, entertainment, and game development.…Hi, I'm Julian D.
