Jean Jullien is a French graphic designer known for his often funny character-based illustrations. Born in Nantes, he did a graphic design degree in Quimper before moving to London. He graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2008 and from the Royal College of Art in 2010. He works closely to collaborate with musicians, filmmakers, photographers, costume makers, writers, and creators to make a coherent yet eclectic body of work.
