Aw man, this blows.

I've always really liked his art. Nobody in the history of illustration could draw barbarians and scantily-clad, Martian warrior princesses as well as Frazetta.

I guess I'll do my part and increase the amount of half-naked warriors in my own stuff as a tribute.

    frazetta made crazy posters and for the most part, a lot of his work on book covers weren't even specifically created for em. cats would just look at a frazetta painting and just attach it to something that seemed a fit

    also, molly hatchet album covers

    the most famous frazetta shot aside from the Death Dealer, is the big titty woman atop a pile of skulls reaching up alongside the leg of a stoic looking conan with a sword

    that picture is the basis for a lot of movie posters, including the original star wars: a new hope poster

    people blatantly copied this dude all the time

    thing is, the documentary where i remember learning this is probably more than a few years old

    memory serves, he's done a few paintings or illustrations since then? which speaks to his talent, doing something like that at his age, and competently
