Hey guys,<br />
<br />
As some of you might know, my dear friend <strong>Steve Niles</strong> and his partner <strong>Monica Richards</strong> have suffered some devastating damage to their house in Austin last week due to flash floods.<br />
The damage was so heavy that Steve and Monica had to relocate to temporary housing while they figure out what can be done to salvage the house (and their goods).<br />
<br />
Steve has always been the first to jump into action when someone else needed help (both among peeps of the industry or national tragedies like last year's hurricane SANDY), so it's the right thing for all of us to help him out now that he is the one in need.<br />
<br />
For this reason I decided to auction this artwork from my personal vault: the Creature of Frankenstein is a favorite of Steve's and a personal favorite of mine, so I thought it would be fitting to put this up for grabs.<br />
This piece was done for <strong>Comic Twart</strong> and it's the very first "<strong>TWART</strong>" art I am putting on sale/auction. It's for a good cause so it needed something special.<br />
<br />

<strong>Here's how it'll work (because I don't use eBay):</strong></div>
<br />
Original artwork is fully inked on 9x12" bristol board.<br />
If you're interested, please type your bid in the comments feature. Bidding starts at $200 and goes up in $5 (or multiple of 5) increments.<br />

<br />
Bidding will end at <strong>3pm EST (that's 12pm for the west-coasters) tomorrow, Sat, Oct 26, 2013.</strong><br />
<br />
Highest bidder* gets the art and I will be sending the money raised to Steve to help him with his recovery efforts.<br />
I'm also covering the shipping cost for the winner. <br />
This is a great chance to donate to a good cause and get some nice art in the process.<br />

Hello everyone! :)<br />
<br />
Since I am getting busier than usual, I thought to start to do a monthly post about my work in the current <b>PREVIEWS </b>catalog. This will help you - and mostly me - to keep track of all the FF work that comes out every month. (that's why, pun intended, I titled this <b>FFlipping Through Previews</b> ;))<br />
Today we go through August 2013 issue of <b>PREVIEWS (<i>#299, cover shown on the left</i>)</b>, the one that you can find in stores right now and that presents all books that will ship in stores in October.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the big NEWS everyone was waiting for: <b>THE BLACK BEETLE IS BACK</b>! (page 40)<br />
YES! After a little break following the critically acclaimed first mini <b>NO WAY OUT</b>, The Black beetle is hitting the stores again with a second mini titled <b>NECROLOGUE</b>.<br />
Above you can see my cover for the first (of five) issue that will be in stores on October 23rd. <br />
<a href="http://theblackbeetle.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-black-beetle-in-necrologue-coming.html" target="_blank"><b><i>You can read more about NECROLOGUE in this interview I did with CBR.</i></b></a><br />

<i>Someone’s murdering the citizens of Colt City, and there’s only one man who can stop this killing spree: the Black Beetle! </i><br />

And while we are in Dark Horse territory, on page 67 there is the first issue of Eisner nominee Alex De Campi new mini, GRINDHOUSE. I am providing the main covers for this horror, awesome new title. <br />
<br />
<b>GRINDHOUSE: DOORS OPEN AT MIDNIGHT #1</b><br />
Writer: Alex de Campi<br />
Artist: Chris Peterson<br />
Colorist: Nolan Woodard<br />
Cover Artist: Francesco Francavilla<br />
<br />
Literature: overrated. Morality: expendable. Tonight is right for some over-the-top sex and violence! Bringing the flavor of midnight exploitation flicks to comics, Grindhouse delivers four two-issue gore operas, starting with “Bee Vixens from Mars,” pitting a one-eyed southern Latina deputy against lusty alien chicks bent on laying eggs in the entire male population!<br />
<br />
* Covers by superstar artists Francesco Francavilla and Coop!<br />
* First issue in a brand-new series of B-movie masterpieces!<br />
* Eisner nominee Alex de Campi (Smoke, Ashes) is a writer to watch in 2013!<br />
<br />
Let's continue with <b>IDW </b>(page 1<i>72</i>) and with my favorite Doctor WHO: the Tenth Doctor!<br />

<b>New Ongoing Series! </b>The horror continues as a zombified Jughead goes on a relentless hunt for brains in this shocking new series by Harvey Award-winning comic/screenwriter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Stephen King's Carrie, Archie Meets Glee) and Eisner-winning artist Francesco Francavilla (Batman, Black Beetle). When he performs a despicable and frightening act in front of everyone at the Halloween dance, tensions start to rise and fears begin to mount-who will be next to join Jughead in the Afterlife? And what about those who are already infected? Be warned, kiddies, this one's not for the faint of heart!</div>

Hey guys,<br />
<br />
following is my entire schedule for this year <b>SDCC </b>(or CCI). As you can see it;s a short one, that's because I had to make a shorter trip due to the many projects I am working on. Still it's plenty of opportunity if you want to stop by and say hi and/or bring your book for me to sign: it doesn't matter if I am at the <b>Archie </b>booth or the <b>Dark Horse </b>booth: if you want me to sign that Black Mirror HC or the Captain America and Black Widow collection, I will be happy to oblige :)<br />
<br />
Also I don't have a schedule set and defined yet, but I might do a quick signing with <b>MONDO </b>and/or with <b>TRICKSTER</b>! on Friday. Make sure to follow me on Twitter at <b>@f_francavilla</b> for last minute updates on where and when if these signings will actually happen.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you guys there in SD: looks like it's gonna be GOOD time :)<br />

<b>Francesco Francavilla Donates Black Beetle Sketch to the CBLDF</b><br />
Our Fifth Annual SDCC Autograph Card/CBLDF Auction event just keeps getting better and better! Amazing artist Francesco Francavilla (Batman, Hawkeye) has created an original sketch depicting the title character from his creator-owned series with Dark Horse Comics, The Black Beetle, and is donating it to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund!<br />
<br />
The CBLDF is dedicated to protecting the First Amendment Rights of the comics community, offering legal counsel, informational resources, and more to comic book fans, creators, publishers, and librarians. Since 1986, they’ve worked tirelessly to support free speech, funded in part by their annual auction at San Diego Comic-Con.<br />
<br />
For the past four years, TFAW has solicited donations from dozens of generous, talented artists on behalf of the CBLDF and is proud to have helped raise more than $100,000 for this important cause. In addition, we’ll be creating free, limited-edition sketch cards of many of this year’s pieces and giving them out at SDCC.<br />
<br />
This is Francavilla’s second donation to the CBLDF–see his Captain America sketch from last year, below! Going to SDCC? You can bid on the original sketch at the CBLDF Auction July 20 (stay tuned for details). Plus, remember to pick up a free autograph card at the CBLDF booth at #1920. While you’re at it, make sure to stop at the TFAW booth at #5625 to browse graphic novels and more at special low prices.

Hello everyone! :)<br />
<br />
Since I am getting busier than usual, I thought to start to do a monthly post about my work in the current <b>PREVIEWS </b>catalog. This will help you - and mostly me - to keep track of all the FF work that comes out every month. (that's why, pun intended, I titled this <b>FFlipping Through Previews</b> ;))<br />
Today we go through July 2013 issue of <b>PREVIEWS (<i>#298, cover shown on the left</i>)</b>, the one that you can find in stores right now and that presents all books that will ship in stores in September.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the big NEWS: <b>AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE</b>! (page 246)<br />
I am teaming up with talented powerhouse writer <strong>Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa</strong> and <strong>Archie Comics</strong> to bring the HORROR to Riverdale with the new book<strong> AFTER LIFE WITH ARCHIE</strong>.<br />
Above you can see my cover for the first issue and on <em><strong><a href="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/movies/afterlife-with-archie-francesco-francavilla-cover-movie-details/" target="_blank">L.A. TIMES’ HERO COMPLEX</a></strong></em> you can learn a bit more about the book and on how it came to be thanks to an interview with Roberto and me.<br />
If you love the classic EC and Creepy stile horror books, you guys are gonna love this, I promise!<br />
Here’s the solicits for #1 and - below - my variant cover for #1.<br />

Hey guys,<br />
<br />
As you know, yesterday Oklahoma (Oklahoma City, Moore) was hit hard by a giant tornado which has caused devastating damage.<br />
To help the victims I decided to auction some artwork.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z7CHKfXXe8T6LaBNoutOfoxM7tELo_skQFsbHfBEAlwUL7iDSuDz08gLzNf1r9BjOswe9RI8l7t5_4qFcvxJ5JfgeV4uY_k6_6bCNgchtvFDRwEr5yP2lpj2hfIjPW4YHTUdbA/s1600/Batman_batsignal_2_low.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z7CHKfXXe8T6LaBNoutOfoxM7tELo_skQFsbHfBEAlwUL7iDSuDz08gLzNf1r9BjOswe9RI8l7t5_4qFcvxJ5JfgeV4uY_k6_6bCNgchtvFDRwEr5yP2lpj2hfIjPW4YHTUdbA/s400/Batman_batsignal_2_low.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's how it'll work:<br />
I've posted the art above: <b>BATMAN with Bat-Signal </b>in the bg.<br />
Original artwork is fully inked on 9x12" bristol board.<br />
If you're interested, please type your bid in the comments feature. Bidding starts at $50 and goes up in $5 increments.<br />
<b>Important: </b><i>Paypal payment only ~ US bidders only at this time.</i><br />

<br />
<i><b>UPDATE!!!</b></i>Since you guys are showing so much generosity, I am including a copy of <b>the new Bat-Classic THE BLACK MIRROR HC </b>signed by me and with a Commissioner Gordon sketch inside the book. <i>:)</i><br />
<br />
Bidding will end at 4pm EST (that's 1pm for the west-coasters) tomorrow, Wed, May 22, 2013.<br />
<br />
Highest bidder* gets the art and the money raised goes straight to <b>American Red Cross Disaster Relief</b>.<br />
I'm also covering the shipping cost for the winner. <br />
This is a great chance to donate to a needy cause and get some nice art in the process.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to help more, here is another option: Text <b>REDCROSS </b>to <b>90999 </b>to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. <br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Francesco<br />

<b>DOCTOR WHO</b> is back! YAY!<br />
<br />
Here's the poster I did last night right after watching <b>THE BELLS OF SAINT JOHN</b>. As usual I tried to keep it as much spoiler-free as I could :)<br />
And I think it's not a spoiler if I say the new Companion, <b>CLARA</b>, might be the cutest one yet ;)<br />
<br />
Also, the wi-fi name that appear at the beginning of the episodes was looking kinda familiar, so I moved the symbols around a bit and it looks to me like the name was the anagram for <b>MOFFAT</b>: am I seeing too much here? ;)<br />

You can read more details about HERO INTITATIVE at ECCC here. <br />
I might also set up some specific time for the signatures if needed, but for <b>STOP&CHAT </b>and handshakes, pls feel free to stop anytime, as long I am at the table ;)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Convention Sketches</b></span><br />
Yes, I will be doing sketches at the show. I can't do any sketching prior to the show due to deadlines. <br />
The sketches will be <b>9x12 Bristol</b>, single-figure, some background, done with pencils, inks and probably washes. <br />
My <b>prices </b>are: <b>Head/Bust - $100</b>; <b>Full-Figure $250</b>. <br />
I try to do <span style="font-size: small;">a few </span>of these per day. It's done <b>first-come, first-serve</b>, so just come see me early to get on the list. I will do a new list every day. I take cash or credit card (assuming this new iPad gizmo works).<br />
Below is a sample of a 9x12 full figure, fully inked sketch.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Prints & Books</b>: I'm flying so I won't have a large variety of prints with me. I'll definitely have some Black Beetle, Poe, Lovecraft, and USRA prints. I'll also have a limited quantity of my sketchbooks (<b>Chiaroscuro Vol.1 </b>& <b>Schermoscuro Vol.1</b>).<br />
Sketchbooks are $20 each and they come with a quick small sketch inside.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
I wanted to share a couple of recent variant covers I have done. <br />
The first is for my dear friend <b>Jim McCann</b>'s and <b>Janet Lee</b>'s new series at Image titled <b>LOST VEGAS</b>. The pre-order for the book ends tomorrow so if you want to jump on this new sci-fi cool series make sure to call your shop and let them save you a copy. My variant is a 1:10 incentive cover.<br />
<br />
The second cover is for the first issue of <b>UNCANNY X-MEN</b> (that <b>MARVEL </b>is releasing in February) and as far as I know it will be used as regular cover for the book for the <b>Hastings </b>chain of shops. It's probably available online as well (not 100% sure though).<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy both cover and both books :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Francesco<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=33196770" name="msg_31006c42a7dcfeaa"></a>Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I've been busy launching my own <b>Black Beetle </b>mini - <i><b>NO WAY OUT</b></i> - at <b>Dark Horse </b>(have you picked up #0 and #1 yet? It's sold out at distributor level so grab a copy if you haven't yet and you spot one in your store) so I neglected a little this blog, but - thanks to the Doctor - I am now back to it! :)<br />
<br />
Finally got around (thanks to <b>BBC America</b> re-airing it last night) watching the Xmas special episode of <b>Doctor Who</b> which I missed while I was in Italy for the holidays.<br /> So, a month later, here's my episode poster for <b>THE SNOWMEN</b> :)<br /> Really enjoyed the story, and I gotta say having Sir <b>Ian McKellen</b> voicing GI was the cherry on top.<br /> Highlights: the dickensian look of the Doctor (that hat!), the new <b>TARDIS </b>design and the new, very cute, companion.<br />
<br />
Below you can see my 5 min pencil sketch I did while watching the show. <br />

<br />
And here it is, my poster for tonight's mid-season finale of<b> DOCTOR WHO</b>, "<b>The Angels Take Manhattan</b>", aired on <b>BBC America</b>.<br />
I am not gonna add too much cause I don't want to spoiler the episode for those of you who haven't seen it yet, but it was a<b> REALLY GOOD </b>one.<br />
And the <b>Weeping Angels</b> are some of the scariest thing I have seen on all WHO (and not WHO) seasons.<br />
<br />
It's gonna be tough waiting for when the new episodes air in late December...<br />
<br />
As always, hope you enjoyed this and please leave me a note if you did :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
As promised, here's my minimalist poster for the new <b>Doctor Who's </b>episode "<b>The Power of Three</b>" aired tonight on <b>BBC America</b>.<br />
This was one of my favorite <b>WHO </b>episodes in recent history: really cool concept, spooky cubes, and without getting in any spoilers, it had something that reminded me of <b>Twilight Zone</b>, and even if the whole episode was Twilight-Zone-y, I am referring to a specific TZ episode. Extra points to who guesses which episode :)<br />
<br />
As usual, I am also posting the pencils (below) - done while watching the episode - for the poster.<br />
<br />
Hope you guys enjoyed the episode as well and dig the poster :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Francesco<br />

And - as usual - I am posting also the pencils (below) for the poster done while watching the episode.<br />
I did 2 sketches for this one: the one that you see here and another cool imagery for the episode. Maybe I will ink it later, when the season goes in hiatus for the winter break, yes? <br />
<br />
And to keep it in the <b>WHO </b>spirit, yesterday I received my comps of the cover (and cover sketch) I did for <b>IDW's Doctor WHo/ Star Trek TNG </b>crossover <b>ASSIMILATION 2</b> miniseries. Check out the picture below: hopefully you guys have been picking up this books as well.<br />

<br />
Here some things to know about this issue:<br />
• It's a good jump-on point/issue - it's fully enjoyable even if you haven't read previous issues <br />
• It's <b>CAPTAIN AMERICA</b> meets <b>TWILIGHT ZONE</b> meets <b>FRINGE </b>meets <b>LETHAL REDHEADS</b>. Yes, it's as much crazy <b>FUN </b>as it sounds :)<br />
• It's a fun story with good looking (I hope) artwork<br />
• It's only 2.99 bucks.<br />
• Did I mention <b>REDHEADS</b>? I mean, like 2 of them? :D<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the read as much I enjoyed drawing it :) <br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
<b>IT BEGINS! </b>:)<br />
<br />
Season 7 of <b>Doctor Who</b> premiered tonight on <b>BBC America</b> with "<b>Asylum of the Daleks</b>" and -as what is now a tradition ;) - I sketched a quick spoiler-free poster for the episode while watching it and inked it right after. Above is the result (and below the pencil sketch). As usual I try to keep it quick and below the 15/20 minutes mark :)<br />
Also: I will never get tired to draw <b>DALEKS</b>, they are so much fun :)<br />
<br />
Hope you guys dig it, and pls leave a note if you do: love to hear from ya :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Francesco<br />

Here's some more fun/satire stuff based off current news/events. :D<br />
<br />
I'll take also the opportunity to let you all know I 've been working on setting up a <u><b>web based store</b></u> for my books and prints in the hope to facilitate the process of ordering/purchasing for everyone.<br />
That will be the place where you will be able to get the limited prints like my <b>MONDO's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON</b> or general prints like the <b>INVISIBLE OBAMA</b> poster above.<br />
Stay tuned for link coming soon :)<br />
<br />
Also tune in on this blog tomorrow night (E.T.) as I will be posting the new <b>DOCTOR WHO</b> minimalist poster, coinciding with the new season starting tomorrow on <b>BBC America</b>.<br />
I will draw the poster while watching the episode and post it right after. As usual, my posters are spoiler free so safe to be seen also by those of you who haven't watched the show yet :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Francesco<br />

Hey guys,<br />
<br />
As I work on my 5th cover for the new <b>CAPTAIN AMERICA & BLACK WIDOW</b> arc, I thought to put together all the previous covers (including those from my previous <b>CAP & BUCKY OLD WOUNDS</b> arc).<br />
Hope you guys will pick up the new arc next month: dear friend and talented writer Cullen Bunn and I are cooking something really cool for this story :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
