My name is Julia Cossio, as a kid I always loved drawing. I'd make my own children books, handmade holiday cards for family, and more. What especially inspired me to pursue art was My Grandpa. I was always fascinated by the display of his supplies and as time went on, he slowly built up my own section at his home. He showed me techniques, gave critiques of how I could improve, and, most important of all to me, had kept or taken photos of every piece I made. He was my biggest supporter from the moment I said "I want to be an artist". Outside of drawing: I love reading books and comics, especially Batman, I've been an avid fan of BBC Merlin for over a decade, and I am a proud owner of two cats, Banana and Patty Pan.
