Legendary fantasy artist FRANK FRAZETTA has passed . . . one of my favorite artists, his images and imagination touched the minds and imaginations of many . . .
Frazetta treated themes and context as widely diverse as Arthurian knights on quests to science fiction and science fantasy . . . from escapist fantasy to dark horror.
His women were often haunting and sensual . . . escapist fantasy par excellance.
His men were often brooding and muscular. His art was perfectly matched to the tales of Robert E. Howard as well as those of Edgar Rice Burroughs and others as well as the covers for Rock musicians wishing to capture the spirit of heroic fantasy.
Of course, as evidenced by this brilliant fan-favorite image of Queen Kong, he also had a humorous side to him.
Frazetta will be missed by many.

All the best,
Brian
