sunny weekend spent biking and reading ☼

[@cheyennebarton]

lolita is a book that is meant to make you deeply uncomfortable, as it was nabokov's intention to write the narrator as an unreliable monster, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to read ^^; loved this video fran!!!!! summer is starting to kick off here in the pnw too

[@liezelhaupt7172]

I loved this video! Yes, definitely more stationery purchases and more sketching! 😀

[@blueev3427]

9:29 me encanta tu camiseta 😭💞 ¿dónde la conseguiste?

Sos increible 🎉🎉

[@Pipapisca]

La envidia que siento como ser humano viviendo en el hemisferio sur 🥶🥶🥶

[@samanthak9592]

I love when you make this type of video, it feels like catching up with a friend 🌞 and your sponsor is perfect this week, I was looking for a print-on-demand platform!! sending you good vibes from the midwest ✨

[@FranMeneses]

thank you Samanthaaa! I hope it's all good over there, I've heard there's been serious flooding in the midwest! Please stay safe!

[@eglekiz]

Couldn’t agree more! I was missing so much this type of vlog ❤

[@biaaraujo472]

stationary shops? cafés? gimme, yes, please

[@peacesoftuesday]

I could watch these all day, thank you for giving us these sweet little peeks into your world

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Fran thank you for taking us along Brooklyn,cafees,qute,cozy stores,you reading in your kitchen,you biking and cleansing at home with sage... More vlogs like this would be a treat!!!!

[@ordinaryowls]

welcome to fountain pen life ❤ if you havent used one before here are a few tips: 1. you don’t need to press down to use the pen, and pressing too hard can damage the nib. all you need is to touch the pen to paper, and ink will flow. 2. flush the pen out with tap water and let it air dry whenever you change inks. 3. you can buy a converter for kaweco sport that will let you refill the pen from bottled ink, so eliminates waste from cartridges and allows you to try many different inks. 4. get some blotting paper if the ink is taking a long time to dry. hope this helps anyone who is new to fountain pen world :)

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

"Holding my heart so it doesn't slip away" the most relatable feeling i get whenever I enter a stationery shop🤣❤️

[@beckie10]

Your self drawing is so cuuuute! Roots and all!😄 Also, thank you for sharing the Mr. Boddington’s store. We don’t really have cute stationery stores where I live and the last ones I bought from online were in the UK and I’ve been looking for some closer to support, so thank you!

[@AnaBela1990]

yes, please, i want to see more of your trips in the city. Some of my favourite episodes💛

[@mafearistizabal4412]

Ver este video me recordó una peli que hace poco me vi “Perfect Days” … que leas un libro mientras esperas el café, ir en bici por la ciudad, quedarte tirada en el piso pensando pensamientos luego de hacer ejercicio, limpiar tu casa… esas rutinas que parecen hacer la vida más lenta, pero en realidad nos conectan con nuestra existencia en este planeta que somos❤ ufff amo demasiado todo lo que compartes, tú arte es hermoso pero que además nos muestres todo esto cotidiano, no solo tu proceso creativo es lo mejoooor, siento que me pongo al día con una amiga y que aunque no me conozcas, me acompañas también. Gracias Fran que el universo te siga llenando de creatividad para que nos compartas y sigas siendo inspiración, te mando mi mejor energía amorosa en forma de abrazos desde acá donde sea que estés. 🫶🏽💛✨

[@NancyLiliG]

Ooh, Printful! Fun sponsorship!! We’ve been using them for 3-4 years to send company swag to clients as gifts, and I could rave about them for hours 🤩 They have multiple facilities all over the world, so your stuff isn’t shipping extra long distances needlessly, which is better for the environment. Love them!

[@Mamamaou]

Yes Yes Yes for stationary shops, cafés, brooklyn vlogs !

[@eleonoravitaloni7278]

Thank you for the video❤ I would love to see more Brooklyn videos😊

[@MiyuManeki]

Thanks for this video, love the scene with Hamburgesa on the bed with in the background the portrait I have done of him few years ago 🥰😍 thanks for keeping it, it means a lot for me ❤. Have a nice summer in Brooklyn.

[@FranMeneses]

I'm going to keep it forever, thank you so much for sending it Miyu, you have no idea how much it means to me

[@BloomsburyVintage]

Yes please Fran! More Brooklyn cafes…stationery shops and your beautiful apartment!! Thank you 🌼

[@tinaj3921]

Hi Fran, I love your videos and artwork! Are you planning to re-print the Ugly Sketchbook? I've missed out on it twice and regretted it ever since! Hope I can get a copy of one someday.

[@andreamede]

Me acabo de despertar y hay video de Fran, qué más puedo pedir en este día. ❤ Saludos desde Uruguay

[@eleonoravitaloni7278]

Unrelated to this cute video: One day I hope you are going to print the ugly Sketchbook again and I finally can get one ❤

[@Lalalovelies]

I love the creativity of covering lolita - it reminds of the tiktok of the guy in public giving the middle finger to the book so people know he's not into it hahaha

[@marinam.3656]

I love you, Fran! You are an incredible artist! Never stop doing art

[@iamterenaa]

a new Fran video is like a precious thing - thank you

[@frogonthegrass]

yes yes yes i love this channel and specially when u show us pretty cafés, stationary, and ur reads (mostly u just going on abt life, actually, it's refreshing and like catching up with a friend while looking at cute things). Love other content from u as well. 💖

[@jenniferchen5351]

My cat had the exact same scratch post because he was a chunky boy and strong

[@ManuelMartinez-oy3xy]

Fran your videos are my safe space 🙏

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

Your videos always inspire me to whip out my sketchbook : ) I love seeing where you go around the city. We don't have so many cute shops and things in Australia, so it's like I'm a tourist whenever I watch your videos. So nice. : ) Thanks for sharing XOXO

[@katie7895]

Hi, FRAN! Nice to meet you. I found your channel just now, and just...I love your world and the perspective you created!! And you've come to my country, Japan before?! OMG! How happy I am. If you come to Japan next time, I wish to meet you... Sending love from Japan. 🤗💖

[@narkolator]

There are TWO movies of Lolita! Which one did you watch? Wait, it probably doesn't matter they're probably both creepy I've only seen the Willem Dafoe one. It's... somethin' alright...

[@ИринаМакова-п8н]

Hello Fran! Thank you so much for your videos! I‘am totally in love with it! ❤ P.S. and hello from Russia! Karamazov brothers in my heart P.P.S. Also have this Kaweco pen, but in light blue color 🩵

[@Maya-rd7xf]

Hi Fran :) I would looove to get a copy of the digital Ugly Sketchbook. But there seems to be a glitch on the We Are Nice Humans web shop - whenever I click to put it in my cart, it disappears, so i can't checkout. Hoping there's a solution? Thank you, as always, for your videos... I share so many of your interests: books, cafes, Japan, stationary, drawing, cats.. I love connecting with you through these videos! :) Love from Maya (England)

[@laurens_library_xo]

I have started my Monday morning watching your video Fran & it just feels like a great way to start a new week 🤍 Thank you for sharing, looking forward to following you along in your next video ✨ Stay safe in the sun, waving to you and Hamburguesa from the UK xx

[@marimarisang]

Always love your videooooooo ❤❤🩷🩷Thank you for making them, they make me happy and soft🥹 I have a question!! since you have everything(art materials& things you are working on) at your studio, what happens when you spontaneously want to work or get inspired at home? For me, I'm always carrying (or at least tempted to) all of my stuffs with me back and forth🥲😂(god help me) I'm thinking about moving to a bigger house and merging my apartment+studio, but at the same time, I have cats and for my printmaking work I need big machines 🥲

[@edsonbing]

Watching your videos deeply inspires me, Fran! This particular video made me really want to buy new pencils and draw more on paper (and take a break from the iPad). Thank you for the inspiring videos! Hugs from Brazil!

[@akirin1128]

Please come visit us in Japan 🇯🇵 ❤ I also looove cafe and stationeries or old book store or Library ! But mostly I love your apt!! And your drawing!!!❤❤ and music you always play on here makes me so calm and mentally relaxed ❤❤❤

[@Artinthehome1922]

I have that David Hockney book!!! BEST BOOK in my collection!!!!

[@melondoo6129]

woah! You ride bike around brooklyn!! that's awesome because I ride bike here in south florida! btw i LOVE youre bike

[@delaneykunitz-martin2289]

These are my favourite kind of videos! It's like I'm hanging out with you

[@brooketheblueberry]

I always enjoy your videos but this one in particular was sooo lovely. It felt like a warm hug from a good friend. I haven't been doing well for multiple reasons as of late; and this video really was the cozy/comforting video I needed. Thank you for your beautiful content as always :D

[@decompcore4780]

You'd think I would recognize Hamburgesa's meow by now but I thought there was a cat on the bus with me 😅 great video as always ❤ Edit: kaweco sport fountain pens are are great! I have three. The converters can be a little finicky but I love using them with different colored inks

[@nele.tekent]

Thank you! Yet again a very lovely video. I like any type of video you make ;-) Thanks for sharing, stay safe as well! Warm wishes from Belgium!

[@Lindzo89]

I hated the movie Lolita too. It kind of ruined Jeremy Irons for me. I loved him as Scar, but now all I think of is that creepy a** movie. It was so disturbing.🤢

[@fidelliaflowers]

Lovely video, I felt the summer :) How are you liking Brothers Karamazov? I read it last year and I have some reservations even though I love Dostoievski. Cheers!

[@RanDom-bk8tt]

Yes! more adventure! shops, cafe, brooklyn! more outdoor stuff when you feel like it please. I really enjoyed this vlog. And the thumbnail is like a manga cover with you as the main character. So pretty!

[@shine9080]

Hi Fran, I love this content for your videos and thanks for the sponsor it seems to be very useful and interesting. Fran, do you use a specific website to make your drawings or you just shoot around whet you find interesting? I’m just very curious and looking for tip ❤

[@RadheKrishna-ri3xg]

Lovely to tour with you-Brooklyn is a million miles from here, in every sense! Thrift-ing, yarn shops (do you knit?). Love your flat.

[@miriamcalvogallego619]

I'm OBSESSED with your sketchbook drawings

[@toymenagerie2947]

Hello Fran, what is your favorite fountain pen for drawing? I‘m searching for a fine one with a nice flow. Suggestions from other people are welcome, too.

[@paradisemeditations]

I loved exploring Brooklyn with you! I'm from the UK and have never been to Brooklyn before, I would love to visit someday. But for now, I can explore Brooklyn through you! 🙆‍♀🤩

[@nieszka73]

I really appreciate you putting all the information and links in the video description, thank You =)

[@jimenazuniga7626]

Yesss more cafes/coffee shops and stationery stores. By the way in August there will be the stationery festival in Brooklyn

[@KatBranch]

Wonderful vlog! Atmospheric! I've been watching you since you moved to Berlin. This is already the artist I've seen whose work features authors from a specific country. It's a pity that foreign artists are not interested in the "real" culture of the country whose authors they read. Unfortunately, behind the beautiful ballet, and as if it were culture, there are simply terrible things hidden. For centuries, everything has been going in circles. It's a shame that the post-Soviet countries that were colonized by Muscovy don't have the resources to show what is hidden behind "great Russian culture". Learn about the "Executed Renaissance" in Ukraine. Learn about the history of Ukraine, Estonia or Latvia. Greetings from an artist from Ukraine.

[@meremeth]

Thankyou for this video Fran! It inspired my to ride my bike into work today instead of driving :--) felt nice

[@allons-yalice9567]

This is such a comforting video, thank you so much. I decided to have a no-buy for stationary and art supplies for the next 6 month, thank you for doing it instead of me)

[@crcrcr27]

These videos are always splendid! I’m hoping to visit Brooklyn for the first time soon:) hope to visit some stationery stores take care!!

[@irene8553]

I loved your video! how do you capture these scenes for your sketchbook? is that photos that you take? Have fun in Spain!!

[@RadhiaRahman]

[@klaudiamenendez1004]

Fran extrañaba un montón este tipo de contenido!!! Y tmb extraño mil el podcast con Ed, abrazos desde CDMX :)

[@diannebaker7552]

Where do I find an Ugly Sketchbook ? I'm so darn happy when I have a Fran Vid to watch 🥰

[@waterbitten]

Would you ever do another printing of your sketchbook? For those of us who only found you after the 1st printing? 😅

[@Sleepgeography]

Oh my, I had this Kaweco fountain pen and lost it. My heart is still crying. I think this might be a sign to get a new one. Mine was forest green.

[@invisible__design657]

Your sketchbook was lovely!!❤

[@heyhonatsgo]

lovely vlog as always, fran :`) hope to see more of these (we love a bookish-stationery-cafeine vlog) ♡

[@jen7662]

Fountain pens are like potato chips, you can’t have just one. Enjoy your fountain pen rabbit hole!

[@teepee2784]

Hi, from the UK! Hot here too! I really enjoy your videos and really appreciate the effort and honesty that goes into them! All for seeing more cafes and stationary tryouts! Thanks for sharing the joy! 🤗

[@alicelv5]

Oi Fran! Sou do Brasil e adoro seus vídeos, me trazem conforto e inspiração para voltar a desenhar 💙

[@tetedelacoursecafe520]

My bicycle also has a name: Rosita 😂😂😂 I would like to see more shops and cafés, please ❤❤❤

Beautiful bike and wonderful huge plants, they seem to like it there...

[@MarianaMorales01]

Amo ver tus videos de vlogs, lapsos en tienda de papeleria y cafeterías 😍 Es tan relajante 🍃 Saludos Fran ❤

[@waterbitten]

Question about the drip coffee, doesn't it get cold as you wait for it to filter through?..

[@arleneoleary7786]

This was nice, Fran. I’d definitely like to see more like this. ♥️

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Such a lovely video ❤ also it is so cute to hear glimpses of you talking Spanish, because I am learning now and it so cool to understand some parts!

[@helloTracey]

Loved the stationery haul and then testing them out! That green fountain pen 🙌🏼 sorry if this was mentioned somewhere - what kind of microphone were you using in this video? The sound is so good x

[@_quique72]

Disfruto mucho esos paseos por la ciudad y en tiendas de arte ^^ recientemente descubrí una pluma fuente que se puede usar con tinta china, se llama indigraph pen. Es algo costosa pero si encuentras que necesitas usar tinta a prueba de agua esa puede ser una buena opción. Ya que tintas a prueba de agua para plumas fuentes son pocas. Saludos! 😊

[@muhlaynee]

@FranMeneses can you share your thoughts on the nina cosford sketchbook?

[@waterbitten]

Oh! How's your father doing, if you dont mind me asking.

[@anitapereira1710]

would you share your biking outfits? love your videos

[@jose31link]

At 6:15 i thought for a sec you were going to hit the penjamin, do you geek out by chance Fran?

[@MariaAguayo-qo1gc]

I so love these vlogs of you, calm, ambience, beautiful images, love it.

Oh Fran, this video is/has everything - such a joy 😊❤

[@i.n.luccio5623]

Sugerencia: los asientos de bicicleta anchos son mejores y mas cómodos
