Julian Alexander Gosden

Illustration

Julian Gosden is an illustrator shaped by his ADHD hyperfixations and the cultures and communities he’s been part of throughout his life. He is a BFA Illustration major at the University of Colorado Denver, graduating in 2026. Born and raised in Red Bank, New Jersey, Julian discovered early influences in graffiti, watching the highways roll by on trips to his grandparents, street stickers, and through his Italian-American family, frequent beach trips, and growing up in a diverse community. His artistic vision draws from graffiti, cartoons (especially Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon), skate and surf graphics, comic books, and subcultures like hardcore punk and hip-hop. Julian works primarily in digital illustration, pen and ink, markers, and spray paint. His goal is to give a visual window into his neurodivergent mind while creating work that builds community.
