Thank you so so much to super Kevin for writing the spanish subtitles! We loooove you Keviin!
All my music is from Epidemic Sound
Camera
all videos filmed until December 2019 were filmed with a Canon EOS m with a 22mm lens (REALLY recommend if you're starting out, although it doesn't have a manual focus mode, it's cheap and the quality is great)
Now I'm using a Canon EOS M6 mark II with a 22mm lens
I use DaVinci Resolve for editing!
Things you don't know about this video: I can't believe the first clip is from MARCH! Also, during the course of filming this video: my studio building got infested with centipedes, my bathroom had a major leak, I came out, covid cases are going up in NYC, my mum came over to visit, and got vaccinated twice!

[@caraliiina8453]

fran's vlogs just make me want a life like this more and more :,)

[@turpentine-caroline]

Same!

[@estephaniezapata4714]

me too!! I wish I had my own studio. 🧡🧡

[@TheAverageArtist]

Every time I see your vlogs I get so wistful of having a similar set up of a studio dedicated to art and time to do it. I will keep dreaming, maybe one day. Love your video as always

[@JoeChanTV]

in some countries, they do encourage people bringing their own containers for food or drinks at the shops to save costs and also to reduce plastic wastes

[@mitzara25]

Yes in my country you have to pay for plastic bags so everyone brings their own

[@artischocke1599]

yes here in switzerland for example.. no plastic bags for free..

[@ankigatoni6967]

Do they offer a better price if you bring your own cup?

[@studiosherlen]

In Taiwan they even give you discount if you bring your own container! Sadly it's temporarily discontinued because of the sudden covid case explosion..

[@JoeChanTV]

@@studiosherlen I love eating in whenever I visit Taiwan, will have to wait awhile longer before going back again..

[@Cafeinacoli]

that beautiful lushy rubber plant, your art, brooklyn and gilmore girls made me love this vlog so much 🌿🤍✨🌞 gracias por compartir tanta belleza fran!!

[@Anna44201]

I love the atmosphere of your vlogs, it's always peaceful and relaxing, and full of graphic novel news and plants and coffee, and I think I just love how nice of a human you really look like ! Keep doing whatever you're doing, you're truly amazing and inspiring !

[@Kimmiekawa]

Knowing how much you love coffee, at first I I thought the red flowerpot was a GIANT cup of coffee hahaha😂 also, the transition from you persevering with clapping sounds in the background to an immediate yawn made me laugh out loud (I'm taking a break from having packed the whole day for a zine fair tomorrow and I felt that clip so much hahaha) ♥️ your videos are the best, thank you so much for yet another wonderful vlog, especially considering what you're going through. Sending lots of love from Denmark ♥️♥️♥️

[@TheEgevejFamily]

Seconding/doubling the love from DK 💕

[@yabaimai]

me too! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[@toymenagerie2947]

I thought the same. 😂

[@ellstration]

Fran yawning in her work - I feel you so much haha. Really enjoyed the taking reference pictures part, I'm doing exactly the same thing (like many other artists probably) and it's so fun to see how everything comes together. ✨

[@xcherrykinsx]

thank you for inviting us into your studio once more; it was lovely as always :o)

[@fremont111]

you work SO hard and are SO meticulous with everything, so impressive! i keep thinking about this graphic novel i want to do but i can't imagine going through your process, i'll never get it done lol! maybe some day you can walk us through your particular process from start to finish? good luck with your application! much love :-)

[@sugaryxegnirys]

This is why I became her Patreon subscriber. She talks about the process a lot more over there! She's got lists and lists of resources and a Discord community.

[@veronicadiaries]

The vlog is so calming and therapeutic 🥰🥰🥰 i wish there are more art vloggers like u!!

[@boomini5606]

It would be amazing if your shop had coffee mugs with all the cool images and designs you guys come up with :-) the new tote bags and t-shirts are lovely though!

[@alexdeleon1463]

Yes! Especially since she is a regular coffee drinker.

[@kekioriginal]

I'm an art student from Nepal and watching you doing your thing I feel like I have friend with same interests and Im feeling more energetic rn, I'ma also working on my school work

[@EveDkm]

So good to see you happier an more relieved!!! Wish you all the best!! I like your studio!!! I like when I am alone at mine too!!!

[@ixlovexrain]

You look so much happier now that you've come out and it's so nice and motivational to see how things can always get better, no matter how often you may run into a dark spot.

[@manusarubbi]

Fran, I discovered your channel in the beginning of the pandemic and now I feel like we're best friends. I wish we could sit together in a park, drink some coffee, draw and just chat. I love your content and I'm really happy for you and how far you've come in your self discovery journey. Lots of love from Brazil ❤️

[@belagrolaub8746]

now i can't stop seeing Fran as "BIG LESBO" congrats on coming out

[@lauriemcdowell]

I missed you. Glad to have you back..and now I have iPad FOMO again. Thanks for that 😜

[@nadinesilversparrow996]

Yes! This is exactly what I needed! Thank you Fran for posting a video during my operation recovery, love from Brazil 💜✨🐰

[@WhitneyWasson]

Just started watching your channel and it’s all sooo delightful. Particularly loved your video about freelancing and money. Thanks for sharing! 💜

[@kaylaalarcon1920]

I love putting these vlogs on in the bg while I work. It gives me such a warm cozy feeling and makes me feel less alone while I get stuff done :)

[@narumimii]

fraaan que precioso el outfit con la falda amarilla me encanta!!

[@ynas_world2]

Fran! I'm so glad to make it this early 💕 Thank you so much for this video ~ I've always loved watching them while making art 💖

[@christyfung2842]

I wish Fran could produce vlogs more often coz it’s so soothing to watch! Also so inspiring!!

[@magalyobligadoc.5506]

Hola Fran tantos años... siempre me acuerdo de tí... que bueno aunque sea verte por youtube y que tu arte sea tan lindo... muchos cariños 😁 desde la perla del Norte

[@FranMeneses]

Hola Magalyyyy tantas lunas : - )

[@odditygrdn]

Those coffee tote bags are to die for!!!! I want one so bad! Hope you are doing well Fran, you look so happy.

[@sarcasmpersuasion]

The composition notebook cover is soo cute! I feel like I need an upgrade now 😊

[@Dreamcatcher0007]

You look so happy, relieved, energetic now. Good to see that ❤️

[@EdutheStoryteller]

Nice environment, fall season vibrations

[@Leyluchis]

Fraaann! Thank you for taking us thru your summer, it was lovely ✨

[@katiedraws]

This is so soothing to waatch 💕

[@rheakurokawa]

I love seeing your studio. Thank you for this

[@TheEgevejFamily]

Thanks for sharing Fran, love getting glimpses of your days in the studio! Hope everything goes well with the application ❤️

[@byshanbae]

adding art to those pieces of papers you put over the window would be a really cool sight for those who may be able to see your window.

[@Gre_tel]

dear Fran, it is so nice to hear and see from you again. since I discovered you about 1,5 years ago, I really enjoyed following you, your art, and your journey. I love relaxed mornings and evenings watching your videos while making art myself, being inspired by you. Just keep going, much love, Gretel

[@luisafliess]

I love your jungle studio

[@neyceltoledo8343]

Ay, Fran. Me encanta ver todo lo que haces. No sólo aquí, también en Instagram. Me inspiras mucho.

[@ankigatoni6967]

Hello dear Fran! I know you have shared in the past about your consumption patterns but could you please make a dedicated video? What do you eat and why, what do you shop and from where (clothes, home stuff), etc. It would be interesting and so inspiring!

[@llamabean529]

Idk why but the little meeting about the scans made me happy. Glad to see your vlogs again

[@Genny-Zee]

Fran, watching your vlogs, even of a clip of you not talking, is very therapeutic for me. If it doesn’t sound too stalkerish, I love to spend my downtime watching the going’s on of other people’s lives, particularly creatives as an illustrator myself! I love your work 😊

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Who are these people hitting dislike on such a wholesome vlog? Do they have a soul?? I am wishing them a better day and nicer judgements

[@jojogalban5157]

Congratulations on coming out! It is such a brave and vulnerable and wonderful thing to come out! I am so happy that you can now flourish!

[@annieroar2581]

este video es bueno para empezar mi día gracias fran

[@AlexandraVicunaPerry]

I love your videos they are funny and real. You look very happy after telling us. Don’t worry we love ❤️.

[@tugba_isik]

Loved the sad "before" and happy "after" And your pink pen! So cute.

[@ltqteehee]

2:32 love how Fran dressed like her main colours lol

[@levimccaffrey5340]

Thank you for always being an artistic inspiration to me, I came out around the same time you did as bisexual and it went well with my parents, but not my religious private school. It's awful being treated unfairly in a school system with no protections for kids like me, but it's great knowing that there is now this giant that stands in the art community that's also queer

[@andycartagenaa]

These are my favorite type of videos. Thank you for sharing. Those totes are to die for!!! So cute! I can’t wait to get my hands on one :,)))) Sending you so much love. X

[@lyamgtt]

So happy that studio vlogs are baaaack ! ♥ You look happy, keep going you're the best !

[@hammondesque]

Perfect timing, I just made a cup of tea and crawled into bed as it's really cold in the UK at the moment. Time to get cosy and watch Fran! 😊

[@venus.the.hermit]

Hey uk friend! I’m also watching after crawling back into bed on this drizzly weekend ☺️

[@VickyRock]

Hola, Fran 😍 Gracias por el video ❤ Está especial para desestresar esta semanita. Un beso 😘

[@dc5336]

Flask is for tea and coffee too. Love you!

[@amandadamasio9317]

Hi Fran! First of all, your vlogs are a work of art. So beautiful and calming. Second of all, can you make more vlogs outside? Idk how things are in NYC, but they sure are faster than here in Brazil and I miss the outside world. Anyway, thanks for these images and wish u the best!

[@julie8234]

We're always here for you Fran ☺️🌿

[@chiarastaaa]

I literally can’t wait to purchase and read your graphic novel to support you fran! You are one of my biggest inspiration ♥️

[@courtneymayoshow]

[@IrinaDuarte]

Yees a new vlog!!

[@marguiWaterland]

Thank you, Fran!

[@apoliolio4568]

hi Fran I just wanted to thank you for your content and honesty especially as of lately, I'm a queer person myself but even I cant imagine the emense strength that you had to muster to come out to yourself and people around you. Truly you deserve so much respect! Also, I love your vlogs so much as they have become a little safe space on the corner of the internet where I can come even when I'm feeling down, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. Keep growing just like you are, much love~

[@silbug]

Love you Francitaxoxox Thank you for opening up to us. You look amazing in that yellow skirt. I want one like it. Cheers from California.

[@honeymama777]

LOL I am watching Gg right now, too. Never watched it before. Season 4 - Rory just paid the guy $20 to get her study tree back. No spoilers! ;P I love your art supply videos...more please! Using a Slicci pen often now because of you, ha.

[@alanavitoria9154]

Eu amo vê os vlogs delaa

That’s A LOT of coffee 😂

[@NickiNewellArt]

I have that same ipad case!

[@freyav241]

¡Hola, Fran! Es una obviedad, pero por si acaso: yo pido el café como para tomarlo en la cafetería y relleno mi taza para llevar, así puedo seguir tomando el café del lugar que me gusta y nadie se molesta. ¡Suerte con la green card! Un abrazo

[@user-hu1ht8mr8h]

Hi Fran!! So beautiful vlog 😍 Hello from Russia!

[@malenewalter8464]

The printing is so therapeutic. I still new was the anime girl white tee your design? I love it
