Readers of fantasy novels know Frank Frazetta’s work even at a mere glance, so it should come as no surprise that he’s featured in the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day with this piece of Bran Mak Morn.
Fantasy artist Frank Frazzetta (he later would drop one of the Zs) was born February 9th, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York, the only boy in a family with 3 sisters. He is widely considered to be the most influential and most emulated fantasy artist in history.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

Frazetta suck.
i’m kidding, i love the guy’s art. i have 2 of his Death Dealer statue, one small on his horse, and one about 18 inches tall leaning against a big axe on a pile of skulls (pretty neat if you ask me).
i also have about 200 jpegs of his drawings and sketches. the best Conan artist ever, closely followed by Cary Nord IMO
Wait, you can do that? You can just drop letters out of your last name?
I do love Frazetta, of course. Unfortunately that Death Dealer series that came out in the last year or so was pretty bad.
