Julz Clementine is a Portland-based artist and surface pattern designer working across murals, licensing, and education. Her pattern practice is rooted in tactile experimentation - cut paper, drawing, and ceramics - translated into licensable illustrations. She has a documented collaboration with Thunderpants and has received public mural commissions in Portland via PSAA, including work in the Lloyd District and at Portland Children's Museum. She also runs art workshops and has a physical retail presence in Portland.
The portfolio features a bold, expressive illustrative style built from cut paper and hand-drawn mark-making. Forms are shaped intuitively, with rhythm and texture guiding composition. The visual register is cheerful and tactile, with strong graphic energy suited to stationery and kidswear markets.
Julz's primary process starts with the hands - cut paper, drawing, meditative mark-making, and small-batch ceramics. These physical processes feed her licensing illustrations. Her website explicitly describes cut paper play as the core method: shaping forms by hand, allowing rhythm and texture to guide the work.
