About
I'm an illustrator and independent comic book creator.
I was born in England but spent my childhood in Hong Kong. I moved back to the UK at the age of 18. I'm proudly disabled, mixed race, and LGBTQ.
I’m passionate about equality and these themes weave themselves into my art - body positivity, feminism, disability, LGBTQ and BAME representation. I have worked with LGBTQ organisations to help produce invaluable resources for minority populations.
My comics feature characters that are rarely seen in mainstream media, with non-exploitative storylines. They can be purchased online or in comic book stores.
In my spare time, I volunteer for LGBTQ causes, enjoy video games, and work towards my ongoing aspiration of dressing like a modern-day Victorian dandy.

“Julian is a very professional and punctual artist, and a delight to work with.
He is very communicative at every stage, and his results are excellent.”
