text messages Richard : [Fran]
I didn't even leave the apt
yesterday, but I promise to get
out and mail your package
today
[Richard are you okay? Is there
anything I can do to help? I'm
really glad you didn't push
yourself yesterday and you
listened to your body! Maybe
you need a few days off of
rest and recovery. Wouldn't
hurt to pop a multivitamin
and maybe some vitamin c
There's no rush on finishing
the portrait so take your
time. Feeling well is much
more important. I was sent
home from work early yesterday
as there wasn't any work to do
I was happy to be out of there
early but sad I missed out on
money. I can't wait to start
my new job and be done with
the nonsense. I'm going to
send you the poetry video I
recorded, it's not finished
but I want you opinion if I
should if I should use it or
not. Chicken teriyaki sounds
absolutely delicious. Sending
you the biggest most
brighest green healing vibes,
happy December to remember
vibes and of course a big
boatload of love with
extra hugs to help you feel
better]

Fran, you absolutely MUST
finish work on your video!
As always your words are so
compelling. And you look
fabulous :)! You are so
totally the Queen of Style!
I would love to do a box
set, with visual images,
for this poem. And I have
this idea for future
videos, that I'll run past
you next week. So I'm
gonna make a strong push
to finish the drawing
today. I've decided which
art to put on the archway
On the left is some fresh
Vancouver graffiti, on the
right side a segment from
those cave paintings in
France, which are
thousands of years old
No room for the Egyptian
motif, but we'll do that
in the future sometime
Anyway, it's just past 2am
and no photo editing this
morning, it's straight to
work on Quantum. Hope to
send you the finished
product tomorrow
For now sending you vibes
of every winter comfort
imaginable, with much love
& affection!!!!
[Richard this makes me so
happy, I will finish it
over the next 2 days and
send it to you completed
Your opinion means so much
to me, thank you watching
it I feel like I
can totally finish it now!
I love that you have
chosen the Vancouver
graffiti and cave
paintings, a beautiful
nod to the past and the
future, absolutely
perfect. I am so excited
to see the finished
portrait!!! I hope you
had your tea before you
started on the portrait
I can already feel the
winter comfort vibes
This portrait is going to
knock everybody's socks
off, it is absolutely
divine in every way
possible. The world needs
to see it. We will come
up with promotional ideas
and take it across the
world. Thank you so much
for the holiday package,
I'll check the mail every
day! Sending you happy
rainy cozy island vibes,
big beautiful December to
remember vibes, big
Frangelica healing vibes
for extra energy and of
course a big boatload of
love]

Fran, thank you so much for
your concern, but not to
worry, I'm a little
emotionally exhausted
focusing on the drawing
these last 7 weeks. But it
was worth it because it's
turned out fabulous!
(mostly because YOU'RE
fabulous!)
After I finish a drawing I
like it to sit for at
least a day before I
photograph it, which was
yesterday. So today I'll
take the photos, edit them,
and send them to your email
tomorrow. There's so much I
want to say about how
magically this came
together, including that
last bit of graffiti
Your latest video, The
Torture Song, is totally
fabulous!! I'll put
together a box set for it,
plus do the Autumn
Portraits as a series of
photo collages, plus a
number of other images to
end the year. And then it's
on to 2026, starting with
Salacia of Saturna. I'm
thinking next year, for us,
has the potential to be
something totally epic
I hear the word Cinematic
is popular as an adjective
these days. So this
morning sending you
Cinematic vibes of love &
affection!!!!!
[I can't believe it's been 7
weeks, I'm not surprised
you're exhausted! Take all
the time you need to rest
and recover Richard! You've
worked so incredibly hard,
maybe you need a few days
to decompress. I'm so happy
you had the chicken
teriyaki Thank you
so much for creating the
box sets it means so
much to me. I've been
looking into poetry
publishing and a cheap way
to do it would be to self
publish exclusively through
Amazon but I haven't
decided on that yet as I
still need to do more
research to be sure. I woke
up with a pretty spicy
migraine so I'm hoping the
work day today will be
quick and painless so I
can come home and rest up
I can't wait to not go to
work tomorrow :). The
rain was so bad out here on
Wednesday that it washed
out part of a road, hoping
for light gentle rain
today. I am beyond excited
to see the finished
portrait and can't wait to
post it on Bluesky. I love
the cinematic vibes, keep
em coming
Sending you big beautiful
healing vibes, happy
Friday vibes and of
course a big boatload of
love]

Fran, I'm totally excited to
hear about your book of
poetry! I've always been
intrigued by self-published
work. Jim Morrison's book of
poetry was self-published,
and so shall yours! Bring
on 2026!!
So it looks like I finished
Quantum just in the nick of
time. I think I picked up a
mild case of the flu bug
My nose is running like a
faucet, and I've been
almost totally listless
But I did manage to
photograph the drawing
yesterday. If you check
your email this afternoon
it'll be there. There's so
much I want to say about
how magically this came
together, and how magical
you are! In the next few
days, when I'm back up to
speed, I'll spell it all
out
For now sending you
blissful, restful,
comforting vibes of love
& affection!!!!
And pleaseee be careful
navigating those
treacherous roads!!
[Richard I'm sending you
the biggest brightest
healing vibes and lots of
hugs! I'm so sorry you're
not feeling well. I hope
you're resting hard and
drinking lots of tea!
You probably don't feel
like eating much but it
will give you strength
to fight the flu. I am
asking the universe to
heal and comfort you so
you can make a full
recovery. I'm very
excited to check my
email later and post
the portrait to my
social media accounts,
the world needs to see
it! Today I'm thrilled
not to have to go to
work, I'm hoping for a
most gentle Saturday so
my migraine can leave
Here's to a healing day
for both of us. Sending
big bright blue healing
vibes, beautiful green
zen vibes, cozy rainy
island vibes and of
course a big boatload of
love]

Fran, hoping you received the
email ok, I only wish you
could be here in person to
see it. I'm guessing the
graffiti on the image I sent
might be too small to read,
so I'm sending a close-up of
that section
So I have more than 200
graffiti shots I've taken
this year. When I went to
choose one for the drawing,
the very first one I looked
at was perfect! The idea
that it was a warning, that
you ignored, could not have
been better. Then I noticed
the outline of the heart
was engulfed in flames that
were the exact colors of
the Rothko painting. (I
couldn't dream this stuff
up if I tried)
I'm guessing there'll be a
lot of different
interpretations of the
symbolism here. It's one of
those details in art that
can mean whatever the
viewer wants it to mean
Anyway, I'm looking
forward to hearing some of
the reactions
But I look forward to
hearing, more than anything
on a daily basis, that
you're feeling great, and
safe, and migraine-free!
Which is just around the
corner in'26. Till then,
for the next two weeks,
sending you Zen vibes of
comfort & healing, with
SO much love & affection!!!!
It looks to me like two
marijuana leaves. Either
that or a couple of palm
trees. I guess only
Shorty knows for sure
So this is the image on
the other side of the
archway. I guess you could
call it prehistoric
graffiti. I have a lot to
say about this image, but
it's quite long-winded so
I'll save it for
tomorrow
