One of the greats.

Really, same for me. He was one of the most influential artists who got me into being creative myself.
Rest in peace, Frank. You will be remembered. |

As a young lad in Junior High School, Frank Frazetta's "A Princess of Mars" covers featuring Dejah Thoris were a true revelation and inspiration to me...

He will be missed very much. He inspired many artists, writers and dreamers. Many people have seen his work in some form or another and never knew of the artist that created them. I know that I have been inspired and incorporated some of his visions into many of my own creations.
 Although he is gone, his art will live on and inspire many more generations. |
