FRAK the SKETCHBOOK!

First Ever Frankie Franco III Sketchbook!
Buy it now while you still can!




I am doing a limited edition run of only 100.
The first 25 will have an original sketch on the cover sheet.
All 100 will be signed and numbered!
They are 8.5 x 11 and have over 20 pages filled drawings and sketches.
Some brand new never seen before, and a few favorites from the past.

So please please please consider buying one :)
I have some other ideas in me head, but I need to see if this is a success first.

Thank you all for everything!

Commissions Complete



The Commissions are finally done! And it only took me a month and three days. But i did have over 25 to draw. :/ Sorry it took me so long, they took longer to draw than I expected. I probably wont have open-call commissions like this again for a while, if I do commissions again it will most likely be themed, like patronuses or you as food objects. Now would that be interesting to any of you out there? If so let me know by leaving me a comment.

Here are a few samples.

Apology

Hello interwebz

Its been too long, and what I find particularly annoying is that it seems that that is a common way to start my blog post over the last 4 months.

It has been a very difficult time for me these past two months getting back from tour. Difficult in almost every aspect of my life. I have been wrapped up in my head so much I have neglected my wee little blog. That may seem like no big deal to most, but I realized I have lost a lot of opportunities to share about what the Lord had been doing in my life. And He has been doing a lot. There is something very powerful in displaying your weaknesses, and I don't say that to be cliché. When we are honest with our weaknesses it allows the Lord to be glorified, allowing Him to get the glory. In this distraction and spiritual warfare I have been very selfish, so forgive me. I honestly do plan on blogging more, because I really do miss it. And I have been learning a lot.


(random doodle I had fun coloring... but will prolly come back to it later)

Another reason I have been so quiet on here if that all my extra drawing time has been dedicated to the commissions. They are taking much more time than I realized. :/ So if I do it again it is going to be a bit different. It is going to be a them, like Patronuses, or Food Objects (like the Pellegrino, coffee, beer, or burrito). But that wont be for a little while. I feel bad that it is taking me so long to get these done, so thank you all. What I am planing on doing next is a limited edition sketchbook. Ill print like 100-ish sketchbooks, sign and number each and sell them off my blog. Then I will ship them out to who order them. If this is something you might be interested in please let me know :D

I also never wrote about two major things, me being a full-time high School Teacher, aka Mr. Franco, and meeting a bunch of you fools ;P on this past summer tour. So expect me to explore these things on me blog.

I have a bunch of sketchbook pages scanned, ranging from random stuff to tour drawings to church notes. So expect some of them to grace the pages of me blog, but some might just remain exclusive to the sketchbook I am gonna self-publish.

Thank you for all of your patience, and me and my blog miss you. :)
