Award-winning illustrator, Julianna Brion, turns old books into neat canvases, on which she paints and draws. Known as “recycled sketchbooks,” her works have caught the attention of giants like
The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Penguin, and has also been acknowledged by American Illustration and The Society of Illustrators, amongst others.
So it’s no surprise that the Baltimore-based illustrator had an artistic upbringing. “My father is an illustrator and sculptor and my mother works in advertising,” she shared in an interview with Working not Working.
“I come from a whole family of illustrators and designers. My grandmother, Anne Rockwell, has written over 200 children’s books! I’d love an opportunity to work with her on a book someday.”
Her work spans from pencil and ink illustrations to mixed media and painting. Check it out on Instagram and be sure to follow her for more.
