Few would argue that Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest film directors to ever walk the earth.

His body of work includes the cinematic classics THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER II, APOCALYPSE NOW, PATTON and THE CONVERSATION.

He is one of only six people to win the Oscar for Producer, Director and Writer and is included in the elite group to win the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or twice. Sight and Sound Magazine ranked him #4 in the list of the greatest movie directors of all time.

I sent this sketch to Francis at his winery in California’s Sonoma County and was over the moon when it returned yesterday, signed and dedicated.
