The posters measure 24 inches X 36 inches, and were originally released in an edition of 350. At only $45 a poster from the Obey store, they sold out instantly. A similar short run seems to be in the works.

Based in London, Julia has an incredible body of work. We were most impressed with her “Teenage Stories” series, which depicts street cast adolescents towering over their environments. The viewer is unsure as to whether they are giants or the environments are miniature. The decision to depict children dominating their environments makes for an interesting series. The studio lighting of her models is carefully orchestrated and the images are composited with outdoor photography for the finished piece. Julia has won a number of awards and is represented in the USA, France, Italy and the UK. She has a wonderful site that is worth the visit.
