Victoria

Victoria Francés is a Spanish illustrator, born in Valencia. She is a graduate of the Facultad de Bellas Artes de San Carlos at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain.Her work is very goth-inspired: ghostly women in long dresses are perhaps the most common characters found in her art. Unsurprisingly, she cites her influences as Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice and H.P. Lovecraft. She also claims to have been influenced by the art of Luis Royo and Brom.She has illustrated several books as well as many posters. 2006 and 2007 calendars featuring her art have also been released.Francés' first book, Favole, was first released on 23 April 2003. This was moderately successful, but she returned to the Universidad de Bellas Artes to continue to study art. She made her first public appearance at the 22nd Annual Comic Fair in Barcelona on 8 March 2004, and toured Madrid and the U.S. the following year. Meanwhile, her other books were released. Another Favole is expected soon to complete the trilogy I got my MySpace Layout at HerMyspaceLayouts.com.
