Quote - Folks, this type of art, Fantastical Art, as Frank often named it isn't "New" any more.  The world has been exposed well to this 'new' genre.   If WE are the creators of art in this genre then isn't it up to US to keep it fresh and alive?   I am still as excited by it as I was as a teen.  Maybe at 55, that's saying something. 
So, outside of your/our own circles, WHO have you shown any of this art to?    Got any prints hanging on your walls?   :)

I don't have a ton of money, but I have a print of Franks "Self Portrait" and "Barbarian" on the wall in my studio next to my drafting table. I also have Book 1, 3 and 4, published and bought back in the 70s,early 80s, that are prized possessions. As well as every Conan book with his art on it and a couple of his comic books (still in plastic). At 47 I am still a struggling artist.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of Frank and that very first time and day I saw his art, of which I bought the coffee table book right then and there and still have.
I think that now, 30 years later, I am even MORE excited when I look at his work due to all the inspiration he has given me. I owe him a lot. He changed my life back then and sent me on a totally different path. He actually GAVE me a path.
There is a huge hole in both my heart and my soul right now, even though I never had the fortune of meeting him. He is my mentor and I can't stop hurting. I can't even say how many people I've told and shown or tried to explain a Frazetta print to over the years. I always get so amped when talking about him. I didn't know Gods could die.
I honestly hope that I will, someday, at least be able to visit his museum and revere his original work in person. (Maybe the family will continue with their plans to tour his work around the country and come visit us here in Seattle. )

Goodbye Frank Frazetta.We love you. You will be missed more than you even know.
