Damn, the vibe in this pic is immaculate. Frazetta was a legend for sure.
Wow what a cool pic! Frazetta really was a legend.
His post stroke artwork is also amazing. The man learned to draw with his left hand for fuck sake.
Frazetta and Boris Vallejo pretty much defined fantasy art.
Working on Fire and Ice. Cool.
First thought….
Damn! Is that Markie Post on that trike?!?
You can really see how real life inspiration shaped his art in such a powerful and personal way.
My boyfriend said I got gonorrhea
from riding the tractor in my bathing suit.
The Master
I also take inspiration from this man’s wife
They seem like a fun pair
I loved the Conan covers.
Those trikes were really cool but really dangerous.
I love how when you click on the picture it’s actually smaller.
Fantasy artists end up with the most amazing women.

That painting is probably worth 5 million now. There it is…5 million bucks just sitting in the back yard.
He also did a lot of the Lil” Abner cartoon strips.
On the cover of hundreds, if not more, metal albums
Olivia DeBerardinis was no slouch either
That’s his youngest daughter Holly in the pic not his wife.
