The Reality Dysfunction

February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010
Frank Frazetta, master fantasy illustrator, died this morning aged 82.
The last of the great old illustrators has gone.
And we now have to pick up the slack. Or rather we now have to fill his space.
But he's not really dead. He's left behind some of the most amazing artwork the 20th century has ever seen. His work inspired and continues to inspire countless people throughout the world. Artists have been inspire to become artists because of his work.
And long as we have his work, his memory will live on. HE will live on.

Thanks for all the great art Frank. Thanks for all the inspiration.

God bless. Godspeed.

I've discovered that one of my illustration idols, the golden age American illustrator Charles Dana Gibson is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts. At some point in the next ten years I intend to visit his final resting place and pay my respects.
