Francis says of himself and his work:

My specialty these days consists of 3D abstract landscape rendering,Op Art, fractals, photography, and graphic design, all separate and often blended.

I often try to project a feeling of calm and meditation, while other pieces are meant to be exciting and stimulating. To help people feel included in a comfortable surrounding, I try and bring a sense of peace from within my own creative being. My art color palette is heavily influenced by late 1960's poster artists Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Wes Wilson, and Roger Dean. My contemporary influences include Alex Grey and Luke Brown. I use five separate programs to create my digital art. Since high school I have very been interested in photography, and I have been a macro and landscape photographer for many years.

I also have studied Typography and lettering as well as several traditional fine art techniques.  I started with drawing and painting, as well as sculpture, initially ceramic, later carving wood and stone, then casting bronze.  

Lately in RL and SL I have been creating unique imagery for clients, based on a digital photography. I am more than willing to provide custom work to meet my clients' needs.
I have created several slide shows and dance floors and I'm currently working on stage decor.
