R.I.P. Frank. Your works opened so many doors, for so many. It's my loss I never got to meet you, but you are alive in what you've left us. The term is bounced around too often, but you truly were and are one-of-a-kind.
And that R.E.H. quote is awesome, and more than apt.

My condolences to the Frazetta family. Rest in peace.
I was just watching Fire and Ice again the other day and was reminded of his awesome talent."The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground." - Thomas Jefferson

It's a true shame that the biggest name in fantasy art is gone. I am so grateful for the chance to visit the Frazetta museum twice and each time I got to meet his late wife Ellie. She guided us through his creative process on quite a few of his painting. The marvelous beauty and depth of the images was awe inspiring. My heart went out to him and his family on her passing and it does so again on his. The artist and his muse are once again together.
Even more saddening than not seeing anything new from the master is the fight going over his estate that started before he passed away. I've been following news reports of it closely and it is truly bizarre. It could very well be that the collection may be broken up and scattered never to be seen together again.
