Franchesco is a self-taught Albuquerque Artist whose images have appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and many other publications, in various media… from sea to shining sea and beyond.
This Award-Winning Artist has created works, that have been enjoyed by millions. His wildly popular “Anarchy” Graphic Novel, seen by over 3 million viewers on Youtube… was also recognized with the highest award given, for Excellence in Advertising. Some of his beautiful drawings, have been seen on the SyFy Channel… featuring stunning characters from their original series Heroes of Cosplay. And yes a larger than life mural as well, in the city of Chicago… near one of the busiest airports in the world… O’hare Airport. His artwork has also been featured prominently, in the pages of the Albuquerque Journal and the Chicago Sun-Times.
Franchesco believes that community, joy, wonder, and imagination play large roles in his Artwork, and the same concepts ring true for everything “MuraLove”. The art should proudly reflect those lofty ideals, while still maintaining a bold “street-art” aesthetic, that can be enjoyed from up close and at a great distance. With heaping helpings of love of course… Mural Love!! He wants his Murals to be Super-Cool and Stylish while being the Catalyst that invites viewers to appreciate the area even more than they already do.
This Fan-Favorite illustrator feels that his greatest achievement, aside from having mastered the ability to conceptualize, pencil, ink, color, paint (and everything in between) in both digital and traditional media… is that he hasn’t lost that loving feeling. It is just as much fun for him to sit at the drawing table today, as it was when he first put pencil to paper.
Franchesco looks forward to the possibility of making Albuquerque more beautiful than it already is… one Mural at a time!
