Frazetta's awesome and has always been my favorite (although I like Jeffrey Jones a lot too). I had a Death Dealer replica painting hanging in my room growing up and always had Frazetta calendars. Once they'd expired, I cut the art out and posted it on my walls as well. I really found the imagery mesmerizing and powerful - I just never got sick of admiring it. As a result, it really influenced the way I perceived the genre then and now. For better or worse, it's hard for me not to see fantasy through a Frazetta lens.

I could post dozens of pieces that I like, but I'll limit myself to one.

Adding the image since it did not allow me the first time:

I never noticed that either. Very cool.

Another thing I like about that frost giant depiction is although they are clearly larger than the man, they're not ridiculously so. Most of Frazetta's stuff has this primordial world feel to me, which I love. In this case, the giants are like the last of an older race, from a time when everything was bigger and deadlier (wooly mammoths, dinosaurs),  rather than some goofy exaggeration or clownish contrivance.

I've got a repro of this on my wall in my rec room, it's my favorite print I've got by Frank:



I remember getting it framed over a decade ago, and the dude doing the framing at the shop said it reminded him of his heavy metal album covers.

Some B&W by Frazetta that I like

I was 18 and in the Marines when I was exposed to Frank Frazetta and Robert E. Howard's Conan with an Ace paperback. I've been a huge Frazetta and Howard fan ever since. Pic related:

That Death Dealer mini is pretty cool!

Super cool! I want this bad, but I feel like miniatures Kickstarters have a spottier track record. Hmmmmm...

I'm tempted to bite too (though I think I'm waiting on 3 late mini kickstarters right now!)  the fact the prices are in Canadian dollars makes it feel like you would be getting a discount right off the bat.
