There are literally dozens of GREAT Fantasy artists.  Frank, Vallejo, Royo, San Julian, Kelly, Cleavanger, Achillios, Brom, Giger, Bell are just a very few who I've seen and collected stuff from.  Trading cards, magazines, calendars, paperbacks.  Yeah, I know lots of the work is labeled "Illustration".  Bah.  All these artists and dozens more are creative artists.  That they sell work and make a living at it means they are successful, IMHO.   To me, it's fine art. 
Frank didn't mind a bit there are plenty of artists succeeding in what we often think of as his territory.  He welcomed their work, he loved it. 
So do I!   

Hey, perhaps someday someone will be tickled to have a "McGrandpa" original hanging on their wall!    Cool.  :biggrin:
