Accomplished in pencil, pen and ink and watercolor on 7 x 8.5 in. artists' leaf, this study was for the cover art for the anthology ’L Ron Hubbard presents Writers of the Future Vol 5’, published April 1989 by Bridge Publications. Any guesses on what the painting on the easel is? I can't place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the NatLamp encyclopedia of Humor back cover. Always a nice one. The book has a lot of great art; besides the Frazetta back cover it has a Wrightson front cover and material by Heath, Bode, and Gorey. Here's a better view.

Popular Post wombat Posted February 20, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 Interesting factoid. This started as a Tarzan painting. Frank didn't like it and repainted it to be Moons Rapture that you see above. stippy52, The Lions Den, OtherEric and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wombat Posted February 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2022 By Frank Jr as referenced in the Art and Rememberences book "While Dad was doing paintings for different publishers & odd jobs, his big break finally came. Nick Meglin one of the "Fleagles" got him into MAD magazine on a commission to do a back cover advertisement-a beautiful likeness of Ringo Starr. This sent a big message to Hollywood & film producers back when original art was used to promote the film on the walls of the theaters. Shortly thereafter, the phone began to ring. His first big payday, the poster for "What's New Pussycat", was a check for $4000. Nearly a years pay in one week! It was like a million dollars to us. Mom & Dad ran out & purchased a new color TV & a beautiful Castro tiger-skinned couch with a bed, stereo & bar inside it. The days of paperback covers for $350-500 were now a thing of the past. Bring on Hollywood!" Randall Dowling, OtherEric, oakman29 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sara Frazetta Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hi everyone! My friend Rick told me to check out this thread. I love the passion for Frazetta here. I help curate the museum in Boca Grande, FL and I run FrazettaGirls.com in honor of my grandfather’s legacy. I’m including a new Frazetta ‘Conan’ ink I haven’t seen until last night. It’s coming for sale at Heritage Auctions in March. waaaghboss, darkstar, Rip and 13 others 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
