Lohang told me that I should post something old or new here. Here is a 16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas from the summer of 2003. It's based on a Polaroid that I took of a place near where I work.

In the last few days I've tried something different when it comes to music: I've been listening to record straight through - from beginning to end. This is an odd practice, I know, but a practice that I have found very gratifying. In an age of iTunes downloads and mp3 players, it's so easy to ignore or just skip over an artists work and in doing so ( Read more... )

I haven't been near the internet much in the last few months. I don't have internet at home so it's tough. I did load a bunch of artwork on www.ChrisFrancz.com over the last weeks if you felt inclined to check it out. I had a Facebook site up but just cancelled it. I used to have a My Space too but cancelled that. It doesn't make sense to have ( Read more... )

I have half a novel written but since my attention span is so limited I decided to just break it up into individual illustrated stories.

I looked around my apartment and checked the outlets then checked the storage room right next to my apartment. When I opened the door and turned the light on I saw the room filled with smoke. I got my fire ( Read more... )

I posted two new acrylic paintings at www.ChrisFrancz.com today. The paintings are for the front and back of a CD.

Since we can inherit personality traits and talents from our ancestors I'd like to propose that we can also inherit certain memories from our ancestors as well. Some people believe that they have lived other lives because they get hypnotized and believe they actually had lived before because they remember things that could not have happened in ( Read more... )

In the last few days I got CDs by Massive Attack, The Jam, and Kraftwerk. If you've ever seen the John Cusack movie, Hi Fidelity, think about this - the movie sans all the John Cusack romantic entanglements and focused solely on Champion Vinyl and the people who work there. I think John Cusack's best movie was Grosse Point Blank. That set the ( Read more... )
