I swear if that ain't some of the best looking marble I've ever seen painted.  Never fails to amaze me when I see it!

BIG BOOKS OF FRAZETTA OIL PAINTINGS
From Frazetta Museum and Vanguard Publishing

icv2.com/articles/news/view/41637/big-books-frazetta-oil-paintings



'The Frazetta Museum has partnered with Vanguard Publishing to produce a new series of art books featuring some of the famed fantasist’s best-known paintings. The publisher has been photographing work for the new books for more than a year now, but details on the format, cost, and publication date have not yet been revealed.'

Here's an update from the Vanguard Publishing facebook page:

Vanguard & The Frazetta Museum are working on a BIG BOOK, Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta

We are working on the book now.
It will have the largest trim-size of any Frazetta book yet: 10.5 x 14.625!
We have yet to firm-up the release date so, it is far too early to take orders. The book will be reasonably priced, readily available once released and, we are working on plans for a Limited Edition signed by authors J. David Spurlock & Frank Frazetta Jr.
That is all the information at this time.
Stay tuned.





Definitely worth adding to the collection

    Nice hardcover Sensuous Frazetta.  I have the paperback and should have coughed up the extra few bucks.

Thanks for the heads up on the new book. I have ICON and Legacy and wish I could find out ahead of time how much double-dipping there will be if I buy this book.

If you don't have the other books, you are probably better off just waiting for the above collection when it comes out in April of this year.

Below you'll find a post by our Deuce concerning the great Frank Frazetta. Kinda, hard to believe it is the 10th anniversary of Frazetta's death.



Cimmerian Encomiums to Frank Frazetta

BY DEUCE RICHARDSON

The tenth anniversary of Frank Frazetta’s death is tomorrow. That got me thinking back to the days right after he passed away. I was the managing editor at the the Cimmerian blog at the time. All of us TC bloggers were Frazetta fans and it hit us hard. The word had come down days before that the blog would shut its doors in early June, so Frank’s death was the “two” in a “one-two punch”. Not the best month of May I ever had and I know a few other TC bloggers felt the same.

However, all of us knew we had to give Mr. Frazetta his due. He deserved nothing less. So, in remembrance of Frank, and of those days, and of those bloggers, you’ll find links below to the tributes that we made to the greatest fantasy artist that ever lived.
