Just checked out P.S. Rocket Love. Lovin it! I like the fact you guys are not using words. The pages are showing everyone's talent to tell a story without words and move the page from artist to artist. Can't wait to see more.

Glad to hear we succeded :) For the next stories we are going ti use balloons though, so we can go in more depth on the character :) Cheers, Francesco

The new Black Coat series is looking even better than the first, and that's saying something, considering how good the first series is.

I look forward to finally meeting you at FCBD!

Hey Francesco, thanks so much for adding me. I love your work, it's just pure, wonderfully well crafted illustration.

I read today that you ink digitally. Is that true? You do a freakin awesome job of it. I also ink digitally, and pencil as well, I just find it so much quicker and easier. What are you using? I use Painter for pencilling and inking, and Photoshop for everything else.

Take care,
Kev

[ Posted by FrancescoFrancavilla on Mar 24th, 2007 9:43 AM ]... Hi Kev, thank you very much for all the kind words :) I do use a mix of traditional and digital tools, based on what is the need. The digital inks make things easier and faster and since I work on multiple series, easier and faster is good ;) I use pointer here and there to color some cover/pinups. CHeers, Francesco
