Just 10 minutes ago I was geeking with my Editorial Illustration teacher about how much we love Frazetta....

=(

It would be really hard to imagine my childhood and the whole fantasy genre without Frank. He was a true inspiration.

awww, dang. He was THE man. I had two of those nice Frazetta art books when I was in high school.

He was one of the big inspirations for why I try to be an artist.

RIP Mr. Frazetta. You will be missed, but we will NOT forget you or your legacy!

I was blown away from the very first time I saw "The Death Dealer" and his work all the way through the Jeddaks of Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) and Conan had a big impact on the way I looked at art.

His left an amazing body of work behind and will not soon be forgotten.

I just saw over on DeviantArt that someone created a group as a Tribute To Frank's Art

"#barbarians-for-frank"

Looks like they're getting people to contribute a Barbarians

I totally missed this when it happened last Monday as I was coming down with a really nasty cold bug...

Frank Frazetta was an amazing talent. He may have been the most talented painter of the 20 century. His control of composition and color combined with his legendary speed at which he produced his works is an inspiration as well as freakishly intimidating to all visual artists. Arguably my favorite artist in all my artistic studies and the artworld has suffered a tremendous loss.
