Francois has been meditating since he was very little. Then in 2001 After surviving a near death experience , his whole perspective on life changed dramatically. It is from this moment that Francois dedicated his whole time and talent in illustrating quotes that could inspire people to live more fully in the present moment, and awaken to the magic of each and every moment. In 2005 Francois was visited by the Yogi Pets, the little beings you see populating his sketches. They came to him while walking in nature and discovering their tiny magical forest. Francois started blissfully decorating full time, his virtual online Art journal in 2009, with he help of his Yogi Pets, illustrating his own inner joy as well as famous inspirational quotes of renown inspirational leaders, into cartoon forms, which no one was doing at the time . (Click HERE to look at the original Sketches in Stillness blog).
Many of his sketches have gone viral on Facebook, and are being enjoyed daily, by millions around world.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and can express an idea more clearly than any words can. It can connect the mind to the heart and gently bring you back to yourself, to that place of childlike innocence, peace, love and authenticity, burried deep inside our hearts. While there is very little grown up in a child, there is a lot of child in every grown up, craving to come out and be seen without judgment. That inner child wants to be acknowledged, nurtured and embraced.
To a child this world is brand new, gift wrapped and wondrous. Francois's Sketch try to remind us to see the world, again like so.
"Nothing can equal the joy of using one's talent as an instrument to give a little light and peace to the world", Francois noted in an interview. This project will soon be turned into animated movies, ecards and books !!!
