POPE FRANCIS… The TOUR DE FRANCIS Series

This represents the first collaborative venture between The Grand Review studios and the inimitable illustrator Fred Lammers.

Fred knew that I was a fan, and I was never shy or quiet about how much I truly dug his work.  From that and via the magic of the internet, we’ve become friends.  A few years back, being that our studios are here in Philadelphia and the new Pope was coming for a much touted visit, I asked Fred if he would consider creating a series that tipped the hat to this Francis fellow and the new super weapon he had unleashed onto the world in general, and onto the Catholic world specifically.  Humor.  Pope Francis sort of tossed in this love bomb thing, and he did it with a grin, and it threw everybody off balance just long enough for alotta people to forget that they hated each other.  Neither me or Fred are Catholic in any way, shape or form, but as I was so fascinated by this guy, Fred agreed to give it a whirl.

The process of working together was a real hoot, and the first prints to come out of it were the surfer Pope LP cover and of course, the most easily recognizable car in the world alongside the Batmobile and the VW Beetle… the Popemobile!  Of course, Fred’s Popemobile is based on a stretched Meyers Manx dune buggy and has a 1961 looking Italian secret service agent suited up as the driver, and that is exactly what I was hoping he’d bring to the project.

The TOUR DE FRANCIS series is small.  Only 11 pieces.  In an interview at the time with the news media, I made it clear that everything we were doing was celebratory, not in any way disrespectful, and that 50 years from now I’d like to imagine people will look upon this work and smile as broadly then as they do now.

The venerable Historical Society of Pennsylvania purchased one copy each of the whole series for their permanent collection and we still sell these, regularly, to all sorts of folks, now two years after the Pope Francis mothership touched down along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

A last note, just for fun.  He stayed at the St. Charles Borromeo seminary which is literally around the corner from the ancient carriage house where our studios are on the western edge of Philadelphia.  We had gifted one of these works to them a few months before, to the delight of all according to their thank you letter.  Me and my wife and two doggies walked over to see his helicopter lift off.  It was behind the huge, thick hedges, and the trees and bushes were really whipping about from the wind as it made ready to ascend.  To our utter astonishment, one of those crazy Canadian four prop tilt wing military aircraft flew up into the air with Francis aboard.  Suddenly the whole world become THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!!

Some of the works are in the LP size, but the majority are not.  Treat yourself and a few friends to a few examples from the series.  They were and are instant classics!

 

NOTE... the other prints are shown for reference, and are available elsewhere on our Etsy page.  Enjoy!

Cool, Comfortable, and Worth Every Penny!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’m honestly impressed with these pillowcases! From the first night, I could feel the difference—they stay noticeably cool, which is perfect if you tend to sleep hot like I do. The fabric feels silky smooth against the skin without being slippery, and it’s really gentle on both my hair and face. I’ve also noticed I wake up less sweaty and more comfortable overall. They fit my pillows well and don’t slip off during the night, which is a big plus. After washing, they held up great—no fading, shrinking, or loss of softness. If you’re looking for pillowcases that actually help keep you cool and comfortable through the night, these are definitely worth it. I’ll be buying more!

Extremely cold, silky, gentle on hair
Color: White, Size: Queen
This was so cold when I removed it from the package that at first I thought it would be too cold. It was as if it had been in a freezer. I really like how silky it is on my face. (I can't stand a rough feeling pillowcase.) It is also gentle on my curly hair. The pillowcase can warm up from being slept on, but a shift of just a few inches gets back to wonderful cold. I highly recommend this as an extremely cool, silky smooth fabric. These are much colder than my very expensive miracle sheets.

Freaking Amazing 🤩
I never write reviews but these pillow cases absolutely deserve one!!! These are absolutely amazing! So soft and cool! I sweat so bad every night!! I wake up and my hair, shirt and pillow are drenched!!! I slipped these bad boys on as soon as they came in, and let me tell you! They were cold to the touch, I woke up this morning and I wasn’t sweating! I thought $20 something dollars was a little expensive for 2 pillow cases but was totally worth it! We love love love them!🩷🩷🩷Hubby approved😉

Stretchy Material and Cooling Fabric
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard, Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
Material: is very stretchy and cools well. It has a zipper which is good because the fabric is very soft and slippery and if it didn’t have a zipper the pillow would not stay in the case. Durability: zipper works great and material is easy to clean. Color: I have the gray and my daughter has the pink. Both colors as advertised. Value: Good value and I got what I expected.

Very soft and cool.
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Queen
Very comfortable and cooling. But after a couple of washes the stitching starts to unravel.
