Hi! I'm D. Franklin (a.k.a. Manta) and I'm an artist. I'm a visual artist (prints, drawings, paintings), a performance and video artist, an independent film producer, a musician, a documentary film maker, a TV journalist, a translator (Czech to English), and a Shintaido movement instructor. My current work-in-progress is organizing a dance troupe and realizing my multi-media work-in-progress How to Talk with Children about Global Warming (HtTwCaGW).

D. Franklin's bio

Support my art directly by joining my Patreon at
www. patreon. com/ HTTWCAGW
(short for "How to Talk with Children about Global Warming," a non-apocalyptic science fiction dance performance).
Patreon is an online service that allows anyone to financially support artists. This allows artists to earn income directly from the audience that appreciates their work. You can choose various "tiers" or levels of support, for example $2 per month (c'mon, you can afford that, can't you?), $9 per month (get exclusive content!), $25 per month (coffee mug with ART on it), or proclaim "Art Is The New God" for $130 / month.
