About me

Hi, I am Agathe and I am a freelance illustrator based in London. I love drawing cartoons. I try to capture the base and often humorous emotions of arbitrary strangers as they embrace the inertia and mundanity of the everyday life. I also love hiking, eating taiwanese food and I am a strong advocate for social and environmental justice! Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to work together! agatha.montagnon@gmail.com

  People on the tubeFrom June 2022, I had to commute for 2 hours every day to go to work. I started randomly drawing people on the tube out of boredom and found that this quickly blossomed into one of my favourite activities. I usually drew the person in front of me, and to avoid being noticed, sometimes put on my sunglasses!
• Vivid CuisineI was selected by Vivid Cuisine as a French illustrator to draw for their 'World Heritage Cuisine' campaign. I was completely free to draw on the theme of French cuisine! My illustrations are printed on T-shirts and on sale via this link below: https://www.vividcuisine.com/collections/agathe-montagnon-french-cuisine
• Life-drawingI love drawing people with such diverse bodies during life drawing classes, and trying mixing different colours using coloured pencils and watercolor.
• Zero waste studyA zero waste shop, ‘Kilogramme’ approached me to illustrate the results of a study. To see more illustrations: www.agathemontagnon.com/kilogramme

Make-up palette for blindwoman, with the favourite price of the juryStrate School of Design
I I was interested in the problems that visually impaired women face to make up, then we co-created the make-up kit that I called MYUD (Make Yourself Up Differently). I designed the organization of the retail space as well. I'm currently looking to develop this palette, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to know more!
