When doing this piece I took the opportunity to really study what I
loved about Frank’s work and try to incorporate some of that into my
own especially in terms of composition and atmosphere. With the
Frazetta tribute I am sure most artists will go to the Fire and Ice
imagery of sexy damsels in distress or Death Dealer shoving a pike
through twelve dude's anuses and there is not a darn thing wrong with
that. Frank did that like no other, however I really like some of
Frank's early comic stuff and his Movie Poster images that have a
horror hi-jinx about them that can often be over-shadowed by his later
oil images. While,
my subject matter can be a little lighter, Frazetta's whole body of
work has always been a major influence in the way I make art.
