FANTASTIC PAINTINGS of FRAZETTA

Book premiere of FANTASTIC PAINTINGS of FRAZETTA by J. David Spurlock
Advance preview May 23, 2020. Official on-sale date July 17, 2020
Discover, or return to, the world's greatest heroic fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta in this landmark art collection entitled, Fantastic Paintings of Frazetta. The New York Times said, "Frazetta helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars with signature images of strikingly fierce, hard-bodied heroes and bosomy, callipygian damsels" Frazetta took the sex and violence of the pulp fiction of his youth and added even more action, fantasy and potency, but rendered with a panache seldom seen outside of major works of Fine Art. Despite his fantastic subject matter, the quality of Frazetta’s work has not only drawn comparisons to the most brilliant of illustrators, Maxfield Parrish, Frederic Remington, Norman Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth but, even to the most brilliant of fine artists including Rembrandt and Michelangelo and, major Frazetta works sell for millions of dollars, breaking numerous records. This innovator’s work has not only inspired generations of artists, but also movies and directors including the Conan films, John Carter of Mars, the sensationally successful Lord of the Rings trilogy, Robert Rodriguez’ films including From Dusk Till Dawn, Ralph Bakshi films, the epic, award-winning Game of Thrones series, Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, Disney’s animated Tarzan films, Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and George Lucas’ Star Wars series. The Forbes magazine article Schwarzenegger's Sargent led with the line, "Which artist helped make Arnold governor? Frank Frazetta, the Rembrandt of barbarians."
J. David Spurlock started crafting this book inspired by the original million-selling 1970s mass market art book, Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta. But, he expanded and revised to include twice as many images and, presents them at a much larger coffee-table book size of 10.5 x 14.625”! The collection is brimming with both classic and previously unpublished works of the subjects Frazetta is best remembered for including barbarians, beasts, and buxom beauties. Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin said, “Though he bears only a passing resemblance to the Cimmerian as Robert E. Howard described him, Frazetta’s covers of the Conan paperback collections became the definitive picture of the character… still is.” Schwarzenegger said, “I have not been intimidated that often in my life. But when I looked at Frazetta’s paintings, I tell you, it was intimidating.” Game of Thrones, Conan and Aquaman film star Jason Momoa said, “I am a huge Frank Frazetta fan. Both of my parents are painters, so I'd known Frazetta's paintings, that's what I wanted to bring to life.”

This might be the best Frazetta book. The quality of the reproductions is incredible.

[@kayg5903]

This feels like a guided tour. I hope Vanguard does more of these. Even when the book arrives I’ll probably revisit this for the great commentary.

[@jorgefarfanartist7368]

Fantastic work David, the book looks Amazing! Great walk thru video, the book looks Huge compared to your hand. Looking forward to getting my copies!!

[@tonyb1984]

3:00 That's where Frank met one of my favorite artists/instructors, Jeff Watts (Watts Atelier) in San Diego.

[@robertryancory]

I always preorder your deluxe editions due to their great quality, but I think you really outdid yourself with one! Might be the best Frazetta book ever printed. Can’t wait to have it in my hands.

[@bdlapierre]

Thanks for showing the Deluxe Bonuses pages preview too.

[@findango]

I can't wait. I enjoyed the Margaret Brundage book (and will have to track down some of the others) and will order this one from the Museum directly.

[@leighmcmillan6282]

Looking forward to this! You introduced me to Frank Frazetta's art so long ago, when we were students at Skyline HS in Dallas ... good times ...

[@lukeweaver_art5405]

So looking forward to this!!! My daughter preordered it for my birthday back in April...then covid happened🙁 glad to hear there’s an release date on site !

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

Another great video from a great channel. Frank Frazetta had many artists copy his work but none of them were as good as him. Lol. During the lockdown I entertained myself with books, artwork and literature. You should too. These are my favorite books, all available on Amazon: - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan - Beyond the Horizon by John Harris - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@extantia]

I recently received the deluxe edition and am really enjoying it!

[@doom1067]

Best book on Frazetta yet. The layout looks so much more polished than any other Frazetta book both past and present. I hope they make a follow up book in this format to cover the rest of his amazing paintings.

[@vanguardpublishing4972]

that is the plan ;)

Ahhh it looks like you had a picture of the Bowen Death Dealer statue too. Too bad you don't have a pic of the ARH version. I have the ARH version and it's amazing. :D

[@ThomB1031]

I ordered the reprint of the standard hc on your website. Too bad to not have that James Bond painting, but glad to get 90% of the content or so.

[@bryanmartin9420]

[@ed209v6]

Tried buying the FANTASTIC PAINTINGS OF FRAZETTA HC DELUXE SLIPCASED ED from cheap graphic novels. They didn’t release it and instead put it on eBay for 4x the price.

[@vanguardpublishing4972]

You can order from VanguardPublishing.com or The Frazetta Museum or Bud Plant Books. 1st printing sold out fast but great new copies will be released in November

[@jobsingames]

I just Bought a copy of the Deluxe Edition :-) as there are TWO print runs, how many copies of the Deluxe are there in total then ? the website is unclear on this.

[@vanguardpublishing4972]

1500 each printing. 2 x 1500 = 3000

[@mrdaflyguy]

Hi the miss numbered pages you mention.on the regular edition it says 120 pages.but it ends at 116.117 been a blank page.but counted there's 112 pages

[@vanguardpublishing4972]

total page count includes enspapers and covers

[@pavelbds]

Was hoping this book had way more ”paintings” as titled. Where are all the Death Dealer and Conan works? A lot of Frank’s other masterpieces missing here too.

[@clutch2827]

Gotta save something for volume two.

[@vanguardpublishing4972]

About 200 images total with the vast majority being PAINTINGS. The best reproduction of THREE top Conan-related pieces are included: Barbarian, Chained and Indomitable. The masterpiece Death Dealer (1) also receives the biggest & BEST presentation EVER in any book. This is also the launch of a new series

[@kayg5903]

Vanguard Publishing I hope we get the second book soon.
