FRANK FRAZETTA: 2.9.28~5.10.10
It's a sad moment that I have to report the passing today of Fantasy Illustrator Icon Frank Frazetta from a stroke...
Frazetta is one of the most influential artists on me, particularly in my college years & later, his long life & long history of art are hard to compare any fantasy artist in sheer scope & power.
Anyone who knows me knows of his impact on my expressions... or has seen my collections of calendars, figures, & books... He will be sorely missed as one of the most influential fantasy artists ever, his photographic memory & steady hand are a testament to any great illustrator.
He was so ambitious he actually began painting with his left hand when his right was rendered useless from health problems!!
From his illustration work to his animated movie "Fire & Ice," Frank was one of the best.
Still is.
I recommend see the dvd documentary "Painting With Fire" as it's a wonderful look into Frank's life...
Rest in peace Frank.
