Devastated by the news of the passing of Frank Frazzeta this week, he was the man that made me put pencil to paper and start drawing, I remember seeing books of his art in the bookstore when I was 7 years old, they were wrapped in plastic (because of the occasional naked women in his paintings) but once being drawn into the cover art, I had to get past the plastic to get inside.Life was never the same afterward, after seeing the worlds he created, I knew that was something I needed to try to be a part of.
He has influenced the last 2 generations of artists and many more to come, the world will be a less colorfull place without him here to show us his epic world of muscled heros, voluptuous damsels, and terrifying beasts
