Collection: Fran Shum

Fran Shum was born in Weston–Super-Mare. She grew up with a bombardment of artistic influences, with both her parents being artists, and on a steady diet of graphic novels and Godzilla movies. She uses both traditional and digital mediums to communicate a variety of narratives and emotions within her work, specialising in artwork for bands and tattoo designs as a freelance illustrator. The cult movie posters she has designed have become very popular and she has exhibited these in a variety of venues across the UK. Lately she has also taken the time to create work for younger audiences; she has thoroughly enjoyed the change of pass that the recent collaboration with Nicola Davies has produced. Fran was chosen to illustrate one of the titles in Nicola Davies's Shadows and Light series, Elias Martin, published in March 2017.
