Remembering Frank Frazetta and Dick Giordano - iFanboy

[fajfred]

I was given the name Frazette at birth so I needed to learn who I was named after. My uncle use to bunk down every night in the Korean war reading Frazetta's comic strips and vowed that if he ever had a daughter he was going to name her Frazetta. Well...I was born 10 months before my uncle had a daughter so my mom swiped the name. dropped the " a " and added an "e" at the end.

@fajfred Nice story :)

[theshadow1932]

The strip in Witzend was an old newspaper spec piece that he did, at least a decade earlier. It was NOT new work.

[liveecarbme]

Out of the 3 the dude in the striped shirt is a douche-obviously doesn't comprehend ANYthing the other two are talking about and shoul dget off the f-ing couch-he is an annoying distraction-Shut the fuck up dude.

Notice the jew had to mention Kubert entered art school at 12. Frazetta was still only 6 when he went into art school.

[westeightyone]

@EdMahoney19

He didn't say that Kubert entered art school at 12. He said that Kubert started working in a ' sweat shop' at 12.

A sweat shop was a studio of artists who turned out comic book pages. Irv Novick and Lou Fine were two of the artists who helped and encouraged the much younger Kubert in the sweat shop. Frank Frazetta started working in a sweat shop studio when he was 15.

The 'jew' in this video was only making a joke about Frazetta starting his comics career a bit late at 15.

You failed too mention that Frazetta had a thyroid condition which inhibited his creativity. And that he also had a series of strokes. He learned how too paint again, using his left hand. Quite and accomplishment. Look for the documentary, Painting with Fire. I got that one with Fire and Ice. I still remember my hs art teacher saying that Frazetta wasn't an artist my teacher's idea of art was cowboys and horses, not Conan and dragons, ect.

[hulkster46a]

Yeah the painting of Conan on 5:15 is one of Boris, Not Frazetta. Get it straight guys. Two different artists with two different methods.

[bittiby]

You're showing a BORIS painting at 5:15... oops...

[VicRules666]

The museum is closed and the art has been spread and broken up.

[hulkster46a]

@VicRules666 Pity, I always wanted too go and see his work. And maybe take my son, when he was older.

[beepsbobby]

when i saw the trailer for the new conan movie i was so disapointed ihs arms looked wy to thin and flabby mucles.

[flipwiggins]

I've been thrilled by Mr. Frazetta's work for the past 33 years. The instructors that deny his work are the ones who are terrified by his skill.

[jbeihl1]

Capp was a chicken-hawk that tried to take advantage of Frazetta. He wanted Frazetta to move to away from the New York area for less money, and Capp would then give him credit on the strips he was ghosting. Frazetta basically said F-U and struck out on his own. It was at that point that Frazetta was forced to diversify, and that is what ultimately led him to movie posters, and paintings for Lancer.

Great video

First Turner now these two very sad to see them go.

[igorbabyeater]

did the covers to the horseclans series as well

[alucardisdumb]

this is a pretty good conversation about a pretty good subject.

[goldnole75]

I got in trouble with my art appreciation teacher in college for saying Frazetta was an artist guess I was anti-picasso, van gogh she really didn't get him will miss ya Frank you were the man

[dartheden]

@goldnole75 Sadly teachers says "oh he is the guy who made comics, then he isn't an artist." and they neglect to see the whole picture of the person behind the comics. In this case Frazetta who did do alot of painting and ofc Movieposters but well maybe now when he is dead he will be recognized as an artist by teachers. I mean just look at picasso, who lived on scraps and didnt get recognized until he died.

[de8struction]

Spider-man FTW, bitch

[macjsus]

Wow Dick Giordano was the ink legend. I love ink, not much of a painter but that is was photoshop is for.
