About Me

Francis (that's me) is a narrative artist-illustrator with a passion for printmaking (especially etching) and all things dark, bizarre and mythical.My work is about worlds, or the oddness of my world, and employs a sense of narrative and a dark and cheeky humour. I work with a juxtaposition of the real-life and the surreal, in a world in which giant sausages roam and pigs eat pork. I enjoy drawing from printed text but prefer to use it as a starting point rather than as a set framework for my development; the possibilities are endless
