John
his art varied in size tremendously. some paintings were done very
small 11x14 or so, but I have sold several Frazetta paintings in my
time and one was as large as 20x30 inches. It was always more about
how much time before deadline did he have left (Frank was notorious
for screwing off until the weekend before he was due) and what
materials he had available to paint on.
In one famous case, he had to get 4 paintings in to Ace books on
Monday after screwing off for 3 months and being at his cabin, had no
canvasses. So he peeled linoleum from the kitchen floor and used that
for canvas.
I know for a fact that some of the Scientoligist paintings he did
were quite large (probably 24x48 inches, maybe larger)
in any case.. it was all great stuff..

Frazetta has always been one of my favorite artists, along with James Bama.
It amazed me how small those Frazetta cover paintings really were.
Frazetta was the best at what he did and will be missed.
It's no wonder he wasn't know more for his movie poster work,
there's some real lousy movies in there.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Frank Frazetta gone
it's sad that his family has to be in the middle of a scandal in
Frank's end days. I have no doubt that his son's asscapades hastened his death.
I've sold several Frazetta paintings and numerous illustrations. The
quality of them was unmatched by others of his time.
he was one o fthe top illustrators of the 20th century and in the
last 3rd of the century there can be no doubt that he influenced
more artists than Norman Rockwell did in the first 3rd (although I
will admit, more of the artists Rockwell influenced - like Frank
himself - are better artists than the ones Frank influenced except
for guys like Dave Stevens and Mark Schulz)
Frank is gone, but his legend lives on!
