Soulfire: Grace and the Frog!

This was a Splash Pin-up in the first Aspen Spalsh issue!

Even those the art reminded me of some artist, I never came up with the right guess, until I recently got to know who it was : Francis J. Manapul !!

I always loved this piece!
He allowed me to post it under his name, even though it was done under a AKA: Kiko.

Unfortunatly Francis gave it away to a friend!!!!

So you know who you are and if you ever deside to part with it I hope you will remember me!! ;)

Update 2010: I still can't beliefe it but as you can see by the new and larger scan this beauty is mine now :)
its format is a bit shorter then 11x17 ( guess 11x14)
But the art is stunning never the less.
Thank yuo so much for parting with this piece, I promise it got a good home here.

May 2014 Update: Just added an additional image of teh May 2014 Ebay Exclusive Print from Aspen. this one is like all Ebay prints limited to 10 Copies !! Just had to have it ^.^
