Small Rabbit. Big Thinker |A progressive display of works by Jonathan W. Francois.
I am a Philadelphia based Web/Graphic Freelance Designer specializing in Illustrations, Character Designs, Logos, and Web Development amongst many. The main focus of this site is to showcase my progression in many aspects of art that I have a passion for as well as a look into my personal life.
I’ve done quite a few sites in the past month that I’ll drop on here. This one was done for Orange Line, an online sneaker blog/shop in Philadelphia.
They gave me a lot of creative control when it came to the design and layout of everything, which is sometimes hard to come by with most clients. Check them out as they will be updating their site with more products in the next few days. I’m sure there will be plenty of heat on there as I hear these Retro XII’s haven’t even released yet. But then again, what would I know about Jordans?

Here is something I have never done before. Take a detailed graphic off a shirt and into Illustrator. Don’t ask. The process started with tracing the hell out the shirt on a light table onto two taped 8.5 x 11 paper, all thanks to my new microns!!! Then scanning it into Illustrator and reworking a few lines in Flash and back into Illustrator. Why Flash??? Having animated with it for 10 years and not ever touching Illustrator should be reason enough for me to be comfortable.
I’m not positive about the origin of this graphic or the destination, but it was a real fun challenge. So whoever made this graphic, I commend you. I think I have a slew of more random things I’ll be throwing up this week.
New Photo Page
Wow! It’s really been a month since I last updated. Shame on me! I will be shooting a lot of night life in the forthcoming months as well as the usual antics behind the crew and using this photo page as an archive. I happened to find 3 hard drives of photos from the past 3 months. I am still searching for photos from the past year and will update as I go. Enjoy!
