I'm Marine Constant, a French illustrator and designer based in London, UK.
I work in mixed media and I like incorporating patterns in my artwork. Being passionate about the environment, mindfulness and climbing, my work is very much inspired by these subjects and I love to collaborate with like-minded people and brands. So if it's your jam too, give me a shout!
Brands and organisations I have worked with include Westway Climbing, Hobbledown, Loop Climbing, John Muir Project, Petit Patron, plus a variety of individual clients.
I am available for freelance and commission work. My portfolio of artwork is also available for licensing.
My Story
I grew up in the French Alps, where I discovered the mountains and got into climbing. I stopped for a few years and went on to study fashion design. After my degree, I moved to London to work in the fashion industry.
After a few years, I realised this mad world wasn't for me - I wanted to do something that respected people and the planet we live on. So I decided to combine my resurfacing passion for climbing and my design skills and start an ethical lifestyle brand - Constant Climbing, with a line of illustrated t-shirts. The same year I launched my brand, I found yoga and got completely hooked - so much so that in 2019, I went to train to become a Yoga teacher in Koh Samui, Thailand. Yoga has brought me balance and works perfectly with climbing and creativity.
Starting my own brand was fascinating and it taught me so much but wasn't always an easy journey. Plus, stock management isn't my forte! So I decided to take the freelancing path and focus on what I am good at. My passions are still a great source of inspiration in my work, but the ethics behind those practices are what drive me the most.
