Julia Ashby Smyth

Julia is a freelance illustrator who draws heavily detailed fantasy, folklore, dark beasties, and improbable mythical beings, mostly in pencil. She creates cartoons and nonsense characters, both animal and human, and is often commissioned for caricatures. She loves hand-rendered lettering and a loose, organic form of Celtic interlacing, archaeological drawings, character design, and graphic work in pencil, pens, and watercolour.
