“Franz the Friendly Giant” by Brendon Mckenna
acrylic, charcoal, ink, paper, 11” x 13”

“Franz the Giant is a character I created in the summer of 2012. Since then he has evolved in both physical form and personality. He is the featured character of a children’s book I have been working on for the last year. Franz is my physical representation of a patient, gentle, and friendly soul. Despite outward appearances, he is one with the world around him. I like to think he perpetuates a love for nature, and a strong human desire to once again be at peace with mother nature.” – The Artist
