Frank Frazetta 1928-2010


What can I say? His work has always meant a lot to me, obviously. I can't help but feel sad about this.

From his family:
Frank Frazetta, one of the most renowned fantasy illustrators of the 20th century whose stunning and energetic images influenced a generation, died this afternoon at a hospital near his home in Boca Grande, Florida. He was 82.

The cause of death was a stroke.

  4. Wow, such sad news. He achieved immortality through his art though, he'll live on forever through the artists he influenced and will influence and the many people who love his work.

  7. Frazetta is such a standard and such a great Master in his genre. RIP.
    (I secretly wish Andrew Stanton could contact you in order to create a special hommage to Frazetta's style since he is the director on "John Carter of Mars" that Frazetta illustrated so well.)

  9. I just bought a book of his work yesterday.

    I'm glad he had the time and the ambition to produce the work that he did. No one did Conan like Frazetta. I will paint in honor of him.

  13. I think one of Frank Frazetta's best traits was his perseverance. He was never happy to settle for where he was in his work; he kept pushing himself to new heights. It was his drive to improve that allowed him to reach such seemingly unattainable heights. Rest in peace Frank.

  15. I have to express some thanks to you for bailing me out of this challenge. After scouting throughout the internet and coming across concepts which were not powerful, I was thinking my entire life was done. Living devoid of the answers to the issues you have sorted out as a result of your article content is a crucial case, as well as the kind that would have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your blog. Your primary knowledge and kindness in controlling almost everything was precious. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I can at this point look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your expert and result oriented help. I will not think twice to recommend your site to any individual who desires guidance about this subject. frank frazetta
