R@ndomH3ro Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 R.I.P Frank Frazetta Frank Frazetta was born February 9, 1928. His early artistic career consisted of years of exquisitely drawn comics work, including contributions to the EC line of comics, assisting Al Capp on L’il Abner and later drawing several years of the strip, and working with Harvey Kurtzman on Little Annie Fanny. In the ’60s, Frazetta turned to cover paintings for the thriving pulp paperback industry and created one of the most recognizable illustration styles of all time. His covers for Conan, Tarzan and other rough-hewn heroes created a visceral, violent, erotic yet somehow still nuanced visual style that has been endlessly imitated but never surpassed — Frazetta’s imagery of brawny, relentless swordsmen, seductive, fleshy sirens and hellfire breathing monsters had a gut level impact because it came from the gut — his many followers were just tracing without the passion of the originals.

makineasykills Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 RIP...i've painted several Death dealer walls. Frazetta was and still is a big inspiration to me. Went to his museum in PA and got to see his shit in person. The guy was a straight up beast. But i'd say he live a long and productive life.
