Driving to the Frazetta Museum today. I put it off for many years like an idiot and of course Frank has left us. At least I'll get to see his paintings in person which have been a part of my life since I was a young kid. I doubt I'll be allowed to take pix but will if I can.
-
I love Frazetta's work. Have fun!
-
!
-
some GetBiggers may not be aware of his work but I doubt that they have never seen it.....
This may refresh their memory.

And the museum's location if you decide to visit....

I'm guessing yes, for two main reasons:
1 He depicted his figures with pretty accurate musculature
2 He did a cover for a book called, 'THONGor Against the Gods'!! ;D

Frazetta was great
He also drew his women with curvy bodies and great waist-hip ratio.

Great artist.

who's better frank or boris?

Frazetta IS the reason the conan novels surging in the 70s. You can pretty much thank him for kickstarting anything Conan. Remember the 70s were simpler times. The Conan novels sold because of their covers. Which Frank painted. Frank would often put off to the last moment painting his paintings and one day before the deadline he'd lock himself in a room and paint. He grab an old piece of barnwood or melamine laying around and use it. Since his death his painting his paintings have sold in the millions. Kurt Hammet bought the death dealer I believe. Often imitated but untouchable. He is only now being praised as one if the best American painters. I'm 2 hours away and will go tomorrow. U should go Funky!

JESUS H.....😳
Boring Boris. Boris is a literal painter. Copies what he sees. Notice also how franks paintings exude action even with figures standing still. His characters seems about to pounce. Cocked like a compressed spring. Boris' copies bodybuilders and characters in poses. No sense of movement or action. I like Boris but he pretty much would be cleaning franks brushes if they were in the same studio. Also u can buy famous Boris paintings for Few grand while pencil sketches done by frank can be more than that.

funk I think this was an ad that he did for a German beer company in the 70s. I could be wrong but I think it is. We need more ads like this
