Julia Seal Illustrator & Author

Julia Seal
Julia is an author-illustrator from a small village in England. She knew from the age of five what she wanted to do for a living - draw pictures! After studying Graphic Design and Illustration, Julia got a job making greetings cards, where she came home each day covered in glitter. After this, she managed to land her dream job of creating children's books, and hasn't looked back since. She's illustrated more than 70 books over the past 9 years! Julia has recently started writing books and gets her inspiration from things going on around her. She keeps a little book of funny quotes and overheard snippets of conversations that often turn into stories. Her two children also provide endless inspiration.
