Frank Frazetta | Greater Creators | Legendary Fantasy Painter

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

I get choked up when I think about this man and his art and the effect that it had on me. He is one of the reasons why I have always considered myself to be an artist.

[@davedfw814]

so sad-you needed someone to convince you. I always knew I was an artist.

Here in Spain I couldn't watch your show and I got so excited when I saw this in my subscription box. Thank you so much CBG19!

If a hot chick with awesome pink hair taught me things while a humorous robot student provided commentary when I was in school...I likely would have still done poorly in my classes. I was a terribly unremarkable student. But at least the experience would have been enjoyable!

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

When I started studying fantasy art, I realized quickly that there is a huge red line between "before Frazetta" and "After Frazetta". When he started painting covers there was nothing that looked like him, and after it was ALL influenced by him. And now, even 50 years later, Fantasy art is either influence by his design ideas and techniques OR sort of "anti-influenced", where the artists have to make a conscious choice to avoid his influence. That is the mark of a giant.

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

@@davedfw814 I think you missed my point, while actually repeating it in your reply. My point was that an AD or artist has to make a conscious decision to AVOID tropes that Frazetta created, because they are so influential. And that's what you're saying too, I think.

[@davefranks93]

@@davedfw814 Great point! Someone finally telling it like is really is. Aside from being incredibly boring , all this Frazetta nonsense is soooooo tedious man.......

[@davefranks93]

@@davedfw814 ..I call it screen addiction, all these people making dopey comments about Frazetta, claiming to be interested in Fantasy art etc are just like zombies. They can't respond to your comments because they know nothing about the subject, never went to art school, and no one ever hired them to produce anything, its all TALK and posturing-their just fools or paid hacks.

[@MidnightMuldoon]

My late husband (also an artist and from Brooklyn) took me to the Frazetta Museum back in 2009, while Frank and Elanor were still alive. I was shocked at how small the paintings actually are, considering how huge and dynamic the subjects are. I saw a painting that I had never seen before and was so in love with it, that I bought a print of it, that hangs in my living room today. Here is the painting: frankfrazetta.net/Serpent.html What caught my eye was the details in the bubbles, they looked real enough to pop them.

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

I visited the Frazetta museum in 2021. Frank Jr and his wife were there running it. I was surprised how small the museum is with the paintings jammed together. I also visited the Norman Rockwell museum which was 20x larger and looked like a major museum.

[@Probetox]

CBG19 You are the best!

[@DarkPrincessOfLight]

Revisiting these videos. They're so great !

[@TheMightyPipe]

However unlikely, I hope all episodes come to youtube. Being from the uk go90 isn't an option.

[@TheMightyPipe]

Do they? I don't see any.

[@realityismerelyanill]

I hope it does. I'm gonna subscribe now just in case.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Frank deserves a legit documentary about his art

[@danielmurray6068]

Frazetta's work is never static, it's as if every painting is a frame from the most incredibly beautiful film ever created.

[@davefranks93]

Nah, Egyptian Queen is static

[@korbinianmuch1503]

Frazetta makes me want to write. For instance his picture "Sacrifice". It implies a huge amount of a backstory and *triggers your imagination*. This is what I like about his art so much.

[@nadimcomics]

At last something educative. Awesome content here.

[@sheablack311]

Frazetta is probably the most important figure in sequential commercial art, next to maybe Jack Kirby. if my recommendation means anything I'd like to recommend a documentary Frank Frazetta painting with fire. its Tremendous.

[@sheablack311]

I posted this without watching the whole video to completion. I'm look like such a Idiot!

[@panpiper]

I went looking for Greater Creators when it first came out, only to discover to my great chagrin that it is only available to those who live in the US. The rest of us are simply out of luck. The episode I most wanted to watch was that of Frank Frazetta, the artist who defined the covers of the novels I was reading throughout my childhood. No single visual artist has had as much impact on me. To this day, I find his work utterly unmatched.

[@willbrown4046]

As a Frazetta fan for many many years now, I approve of this episode. I'm an illustrator myself. And Frank is and always has been a huge inspiration. Thank you for enlightening the masses. ;) Although, If you are not already aware, the Death Dealer image also became the mascot and full size statue for "III Corps" Also known as the "Phantom Warriors." Which is another fun fact for you. ;)

Im so proud of you! Ive seen the show and your internet career grow up! I remember the first video I saw from you, the Prometheus exploration video and since then I was hooked on your show. You introduced me to great comics and great artist, got me into Lovecraft and chaos magick and some other weird stuff my parents would not approve of, and made me understand why I love x-men so much! I always recommend your show to people looking for better content on you tube and I am just so happy to see you get this far! Love this new show! Will go download the app to see it! :)

[@darieng619]

I'll be in PA in March for a wedding. Think I'll stop by the Frazetta museum while I'm there. Thanks Danika.

[@fredkelly6953]

Yes the Fantasy genre was dominated by two names, Frazetta and Boris. Frazetta had the rougher, earthier style but so dynamic as to take on an inner life. Boris's work was technical perfection although the majority of his work was taken from posed photographs and lacked Frazetta's energy his rendering skills were beautiful. It really was brain vs brawn, personally I can't go one over the other, I love the power of Frank's work but some of Boris's work is so sublime it just takes my breath away.

[@bradagee9041]

What always blew me away was how FAST he banged out those paintings. He would recieve a deadline and sit on it until the night before it came due. He would then pull an all nighter and knock out a full masterpiece in hours.

[@hankjohnson8219]

There are still people with this type of talent, but for some reason or another, those with less talent are promoted and celebrated in the media.

[@garzapinups]

This I agree with

[@ramirez2049]

I learn a lot about Frazetta, thank you. I hope all Greater Creators videos come to youtube.

Frazetta's usage of a brilliant palette brought his worth to life. My favorite demonstration of his pallet is Mothman. His females are outstanding.

[@PuffyZillaman]

I love Frank Frazetta. He's inspired me to do my own fantasy illustrations.

[@bartman898]

Finally. the perfect length and content for a biography. You showed some of his work and why he was/is important and influential. Also a brief personal bio. I look forward to the rest of the episodes. p.s. love the white; the set, your outfit.

Didn't really know about Frazetta or care much....Love him now! As a teacher myself, that was an incredibly engaging class! Thanks CBG crew

[@PineWikCGA]

I have been a frazetta fan since I first saw his work in the 80's (yeah, I'm in my late 30's so....). The world of, Conan and all things fantasy was in my blood from birth. This is a good outlook video in dedication to Mr. Frank Frazetta.

[@JDSCT]

Fantastic documentary on Frazetta Comic Book Girl!

[@frost3266]

Thanks for this interesting art lesson, it's well documented, well scripted and well executed. I've learned and I've had fun in all my years of degree never had all those in one class and I felt so attracted to the teacher. Congratulations excellent work

[@barwaz10]

Thanks for this very informative video. Well done, I've been a Frazetta fan & collector since the late '70's , he will always be the best.

[@WalterWild-uu1td]

When one of Frazetta's most iconic illustrations, the Cover Art for "Conan the Adventurer" was used in the first modern collection of Howard's short stories, after the book came out the painting was returned to Frazetta. A friend pointed out "This guy doesn't have a neck!" To his friend's horror, Frazetta scraped the head off the original painting and reworked it so there was enough of a neck to make it more realistic (if you can call any Frazetta painting realistic...they're all supermen.)

[@tahnadana5435]

did you do one about simon bisley? his works are what makes the 90s awesome for me...and also martin f emond's

[@chicagovader2188]

As a long time Frazetta fan I was really happy to see this! Seems that a lot of people currently in geek culture have no clue who he is, which is obviously a shame, such talent should never be forgotten.

[@ChrisBryer]

I love his work and to be frank i feel a little insulted that you guys censored his work :/

[@TARDIStennant]

N3rdSci3nc3 They had to to put it on KZbin

[@wolfsmith]

go90 censored it, they also censored some of CBG"s cussing

[@ChrisBryer]

TARDIStennant I believe this video would fall under the rule of youtube just fine if it is age restricted and that this is made for education reasons.

[@comicbookgirl19]

We feel insulted that we were made to censor it too, there was a huge fight about it and it makes me feel both sad and embarrassed that we were forced to do this but it wasn't our call at the end of the day :/

[@ChrisBryer]

Comic Book Girl 19 I image this may be due to the original place where you posted it right? Well, perhaps since this is now on KZbin that you can perhaps have an uncensored here? Just a hope.

[@johnsmith3085]

CBG19-Thank you so much for focusing on Frazetta's art and talent and the merit of his character. A lot of people today want to bash his work as misogynist and racist, not taking it for what it is and the genre which is helped expand. I appreciate that you talked about ART as ART. Keep it up!

[@comicbookgirl19]

zenapplejones haha yassss! Boris and Julie would make a great episode

[@funmeister]

I'll second this-- I was just going to suggest it until I found this comment.

[@watchmanschannelofdespair]

Boris personally called Frazetta "The master" at Frank's surprise visit (and last) to a comic con. (San Diego 1994 I think? in the 90's for sure). To each their own. For my taste I'll take the original, "the master" over Boris any day of the week.

[@kullenberg]

And perhaps Frazetta's favorite Jeffrey Catherine Jones who was his contemporary and painted in a somewhat similar style.

[@kenhaley8881]

I read the Death Dealer series in the early 90's and it's awesome. Going to the museum this spring. This is an excellent show I'm glad it was Comic Book Girl 19 who made this.👍

Well welcome to the party... better late than never... been a fan since 1965... read my first Conan the Barberian novel by Robert E Howard and was totally impressed with the cover art. It was way tougher to find out about artists back then (I was just 7 going on eight then) but as luck would have it, the local book store had more Conan books and over a few weeks I got all they had. It would be years later when I was in Highschool (1972-76) that I found a whole book of Frazzetta art... what a inspiration for a young artist.
