Hi! I am Julia Sophie Plath, and I tell stories through handcrafted illustrations.
I have finished my MA degree at the HAW Hamburg and have since been working as a freelance illustrator. My main fields are editorial and bookillustration, but I also work on a graphic novel and a short 2D animation film.
My art is often described as surreal, dark and melancholic, but it also has some twisted humour in it. I am very interested in the sublime, the authobiographical, in doppelgangers and other worlds. These themes mirror in my work.
If you want to work together, ask a question or compliment me on my great looks, just write me an e-mail!
