Professional illustrator since 2002.
Julie Spoops Myrfors has been drawing and painting since early childhood. Working in acrylic, oil, and digitally, she considers herself a traditional artist, primarily creating fantasy, family legacy portraiture, and Magic: The Gathering card alters.
In early 2002, Myrfors began working for MacGregor Publications, creating over 50 Pacific Northwest-themed book covers. In 2007, Julie joined forces with Jesper Myrfors to found Hidden City Games and became the lead artist for Bella Sara, creating digital artwork for the online game over a seven year period. As an internationally published artist with an eye on philanthropy, she began working with Bubble Mission, a fundraising online app that raises money for those affected by natural disasters around the globe.
During her working career, she has been privileged to publish with Harper Collins, while providing content for Lucas Films, Nintendo, Jade Monkey, and a variety of other gaming companies.

This was a personal piece. This is a piece about becoming an adult. First, I wanted to invoke a feeling of the ocean, a sense of time moving backwards and forwards, like waves.
The main character is coming of age and starting to understand that she can no longer hide behind her teddy bear. Her arm being behind her as if she’s protecting the bear symbolizes her moment of strength to be responsible for herself. She’s wearing a mask, as we all do, as we age and find that we must start to conform to larger society regardless of one’s own life experience. It was always my intention to leave it to the viewer to decide which side of her face was the mask.

This was a personal piece. I wanted to create a figure that somewhat represented both life and death—the power of spirit. My friend and fellow artist Chris Rush had just suddenly passed away. His Black Lotus art had a huge impact on this piece. The flower in her hair acknowledges Chris, designed on the day I found out he had suddenly died. Her power is the chain—in terms of what binds us to this earth and can weigh us down or help us fight.
