I was very sorry to hear about Frank Frazetta's passing. He has been a huge influence on my work. I remember looking at his paintings growing up and loving them. To me he existed in both the realms of fine art and illustration. Had the the brushwork of Sargent, the color of Corot, the composition and chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, the women of Rubens, and an imagination as deep and vast as Howard or Tolkien. He brought all of the greatest characters of 20th century fantasy fiction to life for generations of artists and fans. I will be studying and appreciating his paintings with awe for the rest of my life.
