Back to School 2024

August 25, 2024

As young people around the world embark on a new journey at high school, college or university, thousands of beautiful gifts and homewares, printed with my collegiate themed illustrations, make their way into their campus stores.

Over the past few years, most of my creative collaborations across the globe have focussed on sustainable product ranges imprinted with my playful and honest interpretation of educational establishments . I have drawn Ivy League universities in America, including Brown, Berkeley, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard , Cornell, and Yale, high schools from coast to coast, Russell Group universities in the UK and more. 

Each one is unique, printed in their school colours and features their own campus culture and traditions, sports venues and mascots, famous alumni and local landmarks. I love creating the art and discovering the new worlds that students enter, which become their home for several years as well as their place of education until graduation.

Next month I will be heading off to California and Massachusetts to create some live art in the campus stores at some of the universities that I have partnered with over the past few years, coordinated by my American licensee: Neil Varsity Line. Together we have created a unique and everlasting archive of America's educational institutions which continues to grow on a daily basis.  I love meeting the students and team at the campus stores. Here I am last year at Brown University ...

 

Where next? Well tomorrow I say hello to Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, USA as I discover its campus culture and traditions through my art! Here's one I did earlier of University of Minnesota - Duluth ... assisted by Jen The Hen! 

 

If you would like to celebrate your university or school through Julia's beautiful art to create a best selling range and be part of this unique, international brand, then just reach out to Team Julia :-)
