It deeply saddens me to have to announce the passing of the great, Frank Frazetta. Born February 9, 1928, Mr Frazetta died today, May 10, 2010, of a stroke.
Using traditional Italian painting techniques, Frank revolutionized heroic fantasy with his ability to capture the very essence of a scene. His influence upon fantasy art, and those that came after him, is immeasurable. Probably known best for his work on the Conan novels, Frank lived a life similar to the characters he painted - heroic, adventuresome, and manly to the core.
