Her Shop ~ Herbstkind Illustration, Her Blog ~ Julia Humpfer

Julia is the amazing artist behind Herbstkind Illustration. Her imagination floors me and inspires me to pull out my long forgotten pen, ink and watercolors. I love her unique style and the whimsical feel to each illustration. Here's an excerpt taken from Julia's Etsy profile:

"I´m Julia Humpfer from Stuttgart, Germany!

I would say I´m a full-time drawer and illustrator, just because I can´t imagine ever stop doing this. I get inspired by so many things, by nature, books (Oscar Wilde for example), films, poems, music...
I made my diploma at the Merz Academy in Stuttgart and working now as a freelancer and commercial artist.


"Herbstkind" means child of autumn and I chose that name for my art because I love that cozy feeling when you go out in the nature, wrapped up warmly in light woolen pullovers. When the sun is still out there to give everything a golden glanze but the first cold breezes bring the scents of apples, coloured leaves, pumpkins and honey candles. And somehow this feeling reappears in many of my drawings. I love to work with warm and soft tones and nature inspired imageries.

Usually I draw my paintings with ink and finish them digitally.
When I am able I am delighted to create custom products, please feel free to ask!"
