Description

Frank Frazetta passed away on May 10, 2010. He was one of the true greats in the realm of Sci-Fi & Fantasy art. In 2008 there was a contest at DAZ for Frazetta inspired work, judged, in part, by Frank Frazetta Jr. and my piece "the Skull Collector" placed 16th out of several thousand entries. We were told that the man himself took part in the judging. So when I heard of his passing this image popped into my head immediately. He will be missed by the artistic community and his influence will be felt by Fantasy fans forever. Godspeed Frank.

Your piece is a great tribute and very touching. He will be missed. His talent was great but he also inspired a generation or three of real artists. While "artists" nowadays splash paint and coffee grounds on a urine-stained rug and call it art, his classic approach was refreshingly needed. He was truly a master. Anyone who says otherwise has never been an artist. There will never be another Frank Frazetta.

A lot of my oil paintings were influenced by Frank Farazetta. This definately sets the tone and a grate tribute.

This is one hell of a tribute! Absolutely amazing picture, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the artistic mentor to so many of us.

It is always sad to have such an artist pass away but like most greats he has left us a wonderful legacy for which we can both thanks and remember him.
