“It's no surprise that Frankie B is still killing it out there in the competitive world of freelance illustration. As a student, Frankie B was always dedicated and committed to being the best, he is always learning and growing, his work reflects this - and he has remained a good friend over the years. You won't find a better illustrator to make YOU look good!” November 13, 2008

“There are people in this world that are one-of-a-kind and Frankie B. Washington is one of them. His work-ethic is unimpeachable. His imagination and what he does with it seems limitless. If you need a creative partner to help bring your vision to life in a visual way; to help develop your ideas with you; to show you every angle and possible evolution of that idea - then Frankie is the man you want to work with. I have not had the pleasure of working with Frankie for a few years but I think of our time working together often and hope to work with him again, soon.” October 30, 2008

“I've worked with great illustrators in in my career, and then there are great illustrators who also bring charisma to the table such as Frankie B. He is very easy to work with and provided some of the best artwork for client storyboards in a timely fashion. He is not just an illustrator but a true artist in my book. He can do anything and everything, and will always smile even if deadlines get tough. Check his website! His work is amazing.” October 15, 2008
David Clark , Art Director , Digitas LLC“Frankie B. — you'll hardly meet a man more excited about what he does and what he's into. That enthusiasm wells up to collaboration and insight — especially helpful in bringing ideas to light. He has an illustrative style of his own that won't overpower your concepts and in turn, give you the leverage you need to present your ideas. If you need to create original art you'll get even more from his creative abilities. That's what a good illustrator gives you. That's why I'd recommend Frankie B.” October 21, 2008

“Frankie B. was contracted to do a conceptual painting of me and my business partners. He captured the spirit of each one of us and delivered the work quickly and with a smile. The painting hung in our window our first year and garnered much attention. It now adorns the wall in our second location and is a treasured piece of Comicazi lore. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed Frankie B.'s work and his acquaintance. A great guy! Thank you, Michael Burke Owner, Comicazi, Inc.” July 12, 2008

“I have worked with Frankie for several years in multiple groups at Digitas in Boston, MA. He is a great team player and his work is outstanding. I have witnessed his creativity in action and it is admirable. Frankie's talents are, without question, wonderful and numerous. His art is incredible. His story-telling is ingenuous. The commercial work he has produced is always right on, no matter who the client has been. He adapts quickly and offers input to the idea at hand. Just peruse his web site and you will see how detailed his work can be and how numerous the list of clients he has done work for is. He is truly a great addition to any creative team. I highly recommend him.” June 28, 2008

“Frankie B is one of the most talented illustrators on the block, and by block, i mean commercial art scene. I worked with him a bunch in the late nineties when i was working in broadcast production at ad agencies in Boston, hiring him for storyboards, marker comps, etc. I now work in the video game industry in the Bay Area in CA, and recently had him do some character art for a piece of original IP we were about to release and he nailed it. I look forward to working Frankie for any and all projects like this.” June 17, 2008
