I tried to be Frank!


To say that Frank Frazetta was an influential artist is like telling someone the sky is blue. After noticing every post on facebook I figured it was a bit redundant to say my peace. As it happens, I recently took a stab at a gas tank oil painting for an Icon project. No easy task, but I did what I could first time out of the gate. Some days I wish I had taken up airbrush... The next trick is getting the clear to stick.

Yeah, Tanner, Frazetta's death is a huge blow to all of us artistic types who grew up marvelling at his work. I can still remember the first time I came across a book of his paintings. It was literally a life changing moment. I'd never seen anything like it - his work was unique in so many ways - and so powerful. Do the man proud and keep cranking out your killer art. You're keeping his spirit alive by doing so. Peace.

Sweet, Tanner. Frazetta was a miracle man, and so are you.
