  1. Thanks Frank,

    It is a great honor that you like.

    I met this page just because a friend showed me a sketch of someone who was fascinated, a certain Fank McCabe, the name will you sound …?

    He had more than 20 years without take a pencil, this is my second sketch observational. Seeing your sketches has been a revelation.

  2. Grazie Giorgio.

    I tuoi disegni sono di grande finezza, bellíssima composizione e fattura perfetta, sempre one fonte d’ispirazione per me. Passo ore a guardarli.

    Tu sei un bravissimo artista. Si ti piace il mio umile disegno è un grande onore per me. Sei molto gentile e benevolo.

    Enrique.

  3. Well done Iluro, is not easy to sketch the moon and “your” Atlas and Hercules are almost perfect.

    Saludos.
