Things you don't know about this video: it's really funny when I see tweets from my friends saying "oh it's finally getting colder here in the UK!" and it's still really hot in NY. I can't believe we're about to turn one month living here already! I still don't have my computer back and I miss it badly guys. Luckily Ed lets me uses his laptop when I need to edit or catch up with my emails (thank you so much Ed!). This week I finally painted with gouaches and I can't wait to show you the results next weeek! Have a lovely weekend ma nerds ;)

😂😂😂 ”Very bad subscribers!” I laughed so hard!!

I'm so glad you decided to take a week off, tears on the train is your body saying: 'stop!'. allow yourself to ease into your new surroundings x

Ps. If you poured water on top of your computer by accident, turn it off and TAKE IT to a repair centre IMMEDIATELY. Don't be like me. Even if it looks dry or seems fine, there could be damp or water inside D:

Pd. Si se les cayó agua sobre el compu accidentalmente, apáguenlo y llévenlo a un centro de reparación INMEDIATAMENTE. No sean como yo. Incluso si se ve seco o se ve bien, puede haber aun humedad o agua dentro D:

How do you make me so happy, Fran?! What is this magic? ;-; I really hope you and Ed are doing well in your new flat!

3:17 Yupo is a sheet of plastic. In Berlin the equivalent would have been the Langvard Synthetic paper.
4:23 Acryla Gouache is not a gouache but an open acrylic paint. Gouache has a waterbased binder and reactivates with water. Acryla Gouache has a polymer binder and dries water resistant. Big difference if you ask me. :)

Because I'm a Frannerd newbie, I'm watching your videos newest to oldest -- I'm now at six months back. Wow, guys, what a journey you had with the move to New York, in sweltering summer no less. You're a trooper, Fran. Glad you made it through the drowned laptop crisis and recovered from moving exhaustion. Amazing that you still pulled together a beautiful video (love those shots of the city from the bridge). 😘

[BolitaMail]

Fran, you already provide so much value to our lives by sharing your life with us, so never apologize for needing to look after yourself! ❤️

[constanzaberkheimer]

Fran!!! you are the greatest! Welcome to the US!! I hope New York is treating you well!
I look forward to your videos every single week!! you are such an inspiration to me!

[JanelleJnewstudio]

So happy to be able to see recognizable places in your videos! Welcome to NYC! 💖

[michellemarostica]

It’s really exciting to have you here in America!

[kdsketch]

I have nightmares where I spill water/soak my laptop in the sink so I had a mini panic when you mentioned it for your laptop!! Glad that I've watched your videos out of order and found out that you've got your laptop fixed already haha!

[racheljacobson]

Fran, big warm welcome to the USA! Thank you for taking us along on the journey. Hope NY treats you well. Give me a shout if you are ever in Wisconsin!

[f.s.]

So good to have news from you! Please take care of yourself, dont put too much pressure on yourself because adjusting to such a big life change takes time and energy, and feel free to take as much days-off as you need ! And now you made me want to draw again, thank you :) have a nice day <3

[kristinhenningart]

I’m so glad you’re here in America and made it safely. Take care of yourself.

[SpottedJournal]

Amazing Fran! You're in such an amazing city, explore, relax and EMBRACE it!

[annasebesta]

OMG I love Stonehedge paper!! I didn't know they made sketchbooks!! So glad you're getting settled in NY!! Moving is so hard; take it easy on yourself! We love you and want you to be healthy. Your true fans will always be here.

[tominutiae]

I just found your channel and discovered we moved to new york the same week. Im still having a hard time adjusting and its great to see all the stuff youre doing because i love art and have started painting (smallscale). So happy to have found your channel!

[saharsaki]

I missed you a lot, we are glad you came back Fran.

[celinaGforever]

I never realized how much I really enjoy your videos Fran! I mean I always watch them but they are very special, thank you for making them 😊

[Tania_Doodlezilla_Vincent]
