Unhappy Frank Frazetta Passes Away

http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbc...NEWS/100519986

Galactica fans should recall some of his great BG art.

He single-handedly changed the face of sci-fi/fantasy art. He'll be missed, but his art survives.

Rest in Peace.

Awww man!

I'm depressed hearing this.

And i can't believe there was a family feud of sorts just months ago upon looking up the news of his death on the net just now.

Frank Frazetta a "Living Legend" and artistic grandmaster! His work IS truly legendary and inspriational to say the least.

There is a very good documentary/interview piece called Painting with Fire that is dedicated to Frank. It has an amazing interview with the man. The way he talks is like this is the kind of guy you want to go have a few beers with. I know you can get Painting with Fire as an extra on the Fire and Ice DVD, but not the Blu-Ray (Fire and Ice was a Ralph Bakshi film that practically brought the Frazetta style of art to life in rotoscoped animation). I'm gonna miss Frank.
