Julian is an illustrator from Bogotá, Colombia, South America. Julian De Narvaez begins his drawings in pen and China ink, gradually assembling and colouring the images digitally. This process lends his illustrations a contemporary, eclectic feel, though with a surprisingly fine, traditional quality. This quirkiness is sought after for its engaging richness.
Huge thanks to Emma, Sarah, Hannah and all at Faber Children’s for inviting me to host this stunning cover reveal, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
