sneak peek!

Hey guys, it's way too late at night, but I thought I 'd post a crop of a large painting I'm working on. I'll post the final in a couple of days. By the way, Starbucks "Extra Bold" coffee is the drink of champion artists everywhere...ha

take care,

splendid ! I discouver your work. You are a great illustrator. An "impressionant" style, lot of energy in your pencil et a intelligent vision of your art. Magnifique.

Awwww man, only a cropped shot so far? Man, you're such a tease. Looks great so far, Francis. Love the chunky strokes. I've personally stopped drinking coffee and have a permanent i.v. drip going into my veins.

You're an animal, really !

Its funny seeing all of these comments about people just finding out about you. I'm happy for you, is this piece tradish, or is it in corel? I'm finding corel to be a good tool to break into painting after not doing it for a while.
