Frank Frazetta 1928 - 2010

[Man with the Golden Arm]

When I was in seventh grade my art teacher showed me an article in American Artist magazine on Frazetta - I became a fan and followed him into his ubiquity.

Amazing artist. A friend of mine went to his museum and met Frazetta and his wife a few years ago. He said they were very nice and generous with their time.

One of my favorites.

The original "Man with the golden arm"!

His work was always a bit too fantasy-oriented for my taste, but a massive talent. RIP

This was always a favorite of mine from his earlier stuff...

This is the cover that started my love for his work. R.I.P.

Oh yeah! Those EC covers he did were terrific. I always wished he had done more comic stories, but like so many others I was a huge fan of his sci-fi/fantasy book covers.

Brian Fies has an interesting analysis of that piece up on his blog here.

thanks for that - indeed a nice take on how phenomenal a draftsman he was ... and had no idea that was a Wally Wood ink.

Cool little article. Thanks.
