Julia Specht
Julia is a freelance illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. Julia loves working on editorial illustration, delving into themes related to (pop) culture, psychology and science(-fiction). Julia's work leans toward bold and conceptual illustration somewhere between the surreal, dark and fun. Julia mostly works digitally and her style is a unique mix of manga-inspired lines with painterly airbrush vibes, but she also loves to go analog with watercolor and ballpoint pen.
Julia is part of our newly initiated Next Generation roster for 2026-2027.
