My name is Julien Posture, I’m an illustrator based in Montreal, Canada. I like to make simple and thoughtful images for myself and clients.  

I’m also a researcher, studying, writing and speaking about visual culture and creativity.  

If you are part of a grassroot movement working to support, defend and improve lives of LGBTQIA+ and or BIPOC people, I offer some pro-bono work each year for groups like yours, don’t hesitate to reach out.   

Je parle aussi - surtout - Français.
