About
Hi, I’m Birgit Keil and I’ve created “Just Bea” in hopes of capturing the imagination of a new audience concerned with nurturing and protecting what’s most important to us. This strip brings awareness to how we handle what life hands us in a fun way as Bea and those around her try to make a difference. I hope this strip inspires others to do the same.
As a kid I loved to draw. Later in my life I moved on to being an associate creative director at one of the largest advertising agencies in the country. But I never let go of my first love of drawing. I kept at it while designing and writing for major greeting card companies as well as doing pro-bono work for many charities including the Michigan Humane Society, AIDS Interfaith Network, and the National Statue of Liberty foundation.
Now I spend my days creating in my cozy home studio with my two Scottish Terriers Angus and Piper at my heels for support.
I hope you have as much fun with “Just Bea” as I do.

You rule. FYI
Thanks!
I discovered your blog last week and started follow your posts religiously. I have not commented on any blog just yet but I was thinking I would love to. It’s really exciting to actually contribute to a article even if it’s only a blog. I really don’t know exactly what to write other than I really enjoyed reading through 2 of the articles. Nice articles indeed. I sure will keep visiting your blog weekly. I learned quite a bit from you. Thx!
Thanks, I’m glad you discovered “Bea”, I’m glad you’ll be back for more tips!
Well, you did it !!! I’m so happy and proud of you. I love “Just Bea”! You go girl! Start dreamin’ another dream now or expand this one.
I’m going to Africa on a Humanitarian trip July 1st. I’ll be sending you an email soon (this week to come) about this adventure. Be sure to “opt in” regarding my autoresponder list so we can stay in touch.
Peace & Blessings,
Deborah
Thanks, Deborah! You’ll be seeing “Just Bea” around for a while, then we’ll see
And, so very cool about your trip to Africa, I can’t wait to hear about it! I’ll certainly opt in.
Hi Birgit! I just checked out your creation, Just Bea, and I liked it so much that I sent a note and a link to your blog to a bunch of my friends.
Oh, and by the way, my mom’s name was Bea so I have a special affection for your character.
