\"\"<\/a>I recently discovered that Francesco Francavilla<\/span> was offering a free quick sketch<\/span><\/a> with every sketchbook<\/span> purchased from his blog<\/span><\/a>. Since I’d been a fan<\/span> of his work for a while, I decided that the time was right to take advantage of the deal. I checked to make sure that he was down for a Stallone<\/span> piece [he was] and then Paypalled him some of my hard earned smack-a-toons for a copy of Chiaroscuro Volume I<\/del><\/span><\/span> and a Stallone<\/span> quick sketch.<\/span><\/span>Francesco<\/span> quickly contacted me to say that he’d received the order and that he’d be sending it out by the end of the week<\/span>. About midway into the next week a securely wrapped package<\/span> arrived. [Francesco<\/span> must have heard about my mail carrier!] I opened it to find the sketchbook<\/span> and Francesco’s take<\/span> on Sly as Freddy in Cop Land<\/span>. I sat down and checked out the book which is chock full of sketches<\/span> — everything from Batman<\/span> to Zorro<\/span> to Sin City<\/span> to Judge Dredd<\/span>, the Fantastic Four<\/span>, Hellboy <\/span>and so much more!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Talk about a great deal — the sketchbook <\/span>and original piece of art <\/span>for twenty-three bucks<\/span> including postage<\/span>! I plan to go back for the second sketchbook<\/span>, Schermoscuro Volume 1<\/span><\/del> after the first of the year. Check out Francesco’s web site<\/span><\/a> and you may want in on the deal yourself.<\/p>\n

PS — I plan to post Francesco’s Cop Land<\/span> piece this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
