About This Little Art Shop

Hi! Thank you for finding me, I'm delighted you're here! This is my little art shop. My name is Fran Marcellin, a British France-based journalist - born 'Cook', then I married a Frenchman - and mum of four kiddos, who is pivoting to illustration and surface design in midlife. You can read more about me here on my illustration website: www.francesmarcellin.com

After working in film in my twenties and then as a freelance journalist (for maaaanyyy titles, but including New Scientist, Standard and The Telegraph), I have 'come home' to my childhood obsession of drawing. I'm now happily weaving illustration into my professional world.

I'm only just starting to build up this shop, but any support is appreciated. Through it, I want to support issues that matter to me. This is why 5 euros from every sale of the 2026 Birds of Wonder calendar goes to helping families in Gaza, and why 2 euros from every tote bag sale from the Endangered Animals series supports animal conservation charities, such as the WWF. 

With so much chaos and unfairness dominating the world, I want to create art that raises awareness for the marginalised - as well as bringing joy to people wearing or using my art.

Thank you so much for being here. If you want to reach out to me directly, you can at: frances@francesmarcellin.com. If you want to learn more about me and what I'm up to, go to francesmarcellin.com or catch me on IG @franlovesillustration - see you there! :)
