Frank Frazetta is the greatest artist that ever breathe air! Frazetta paints both handed. After serveral strokes, he paints softer and more beautiful at age 80. Salvador Dali and Bori Vallejo are fucking cartoonist!
Frazetta is great, but it's the other way aroung: Frazetta is the cartoonist. (I love "cartoonish" drawing... it's as much of an art as the painterly tradition. Fantasy surrealism owes much more to cartooning than Dali et al.)
During Thanksgiving break in 1967 I met my roommate at the St. Regis Hotel, and when exiting, I saw a man in a long gabardine coat, wearing a boler hat, and since I had taken a photography course from Phillippe Hallsman I knew I recognized the face and the mustache. He said "bonjour" to me and tipped his hat as he entered. I said "bonjour" back to him and enjoyed an eye contact knowing that this person was someone inspired.
My father used to see a barber downstairs at the St. Regis named Joe and I knew my dad was familiar with that hotel. "Does Dali live there?" I asked him when I got home to 79th Street. "He has for years" was the reply. That was fun.
1. Was Dali smoking pot too?
2. "DOVE IN," not "dived in" ...sheesh
