    Default Bummer..

    One of my favorite illustrators has died, Frank Frazetta:

    His fantasy works of muscled heroes, deadly beasts, and voluptuous women may have been kind of pooh-pooh'ed in 'serious' art circles, but I thought they were awesome. I still have a couple framed prints from the 80's packed away somewhere.

    I enjoyed his work too. Darn shame, but there are other artists that have (and will) take up where he left off. RIP.

    He was an incredible artist. He will be missed.

    I've seen this video bio of him several times:

    Farewell, Frank.

    I loved the way he drew women. (They didn't look hungry, that's for sure.)
