Julian is a freelance fine artist and illustrator from Nottingham: He studied for a degree in Fine Art at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ. Shortlisted for A&I "Artist of the Year" 2014. Artworks included in public collections including the R.C. Diocese of Southwark and the Vice-Chancellor’s collection at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ. Returned to ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ to study for an MA in Creative Writing, passing with distinction, with a dissertation focused on illustrated children’s fiction.
From one of the modules for the MA course grew the idea to combine a long-standing interest in the history of art with creative writing, as the inspiration for a PhD research project.
