Frank Frazetta passed away in a hospital in Florida; the cause of death was a stroke. His style was deeply influential and instantly recognizable, and his absence in the art world will be felt. When I was a kid, my dad had a small print of one of his paintings on the inside of his towel cabinet, and there were a number of books on the shelves of our house with his work on the covers. I think that was one of the triggers that got me reading- I wanted to know who these incredible people and monsters were!
Thank you, Mr. Frazetta, for giving breadth to my developing imagination.
