RIP Frank Frazetta: Revolutionary Fantasy Artist
Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.
In the world of fantasy art, Frank Frazetta is the godfather. He created magical worlds of warriors and sensual women. He stretched the imagination and defined modern fantasy art, while influencing popular culture along the way (from books to film). "Conan the Barbarian" was one of his best known works. Technically and artistically, his work was flawless. You could find out more through the 2003 documentary "Frank Frazetta: Painting With Fire". After suffering from a series of strokes, he began painting with his non-dominant left hand--I find this so inspirational--persevering through adversity while following his life's passion. Frank Frazetta was a contemporary master artist.
