I love sci-fi book cover art. However, in my youth, I did read a few stinkers because they had lovely cover art (The 'Lensman' series spring to mind).

In the Frank Frazetta documentary, I like seeing all the illustrators talking about ripping the Frazetta covers off of books in the bookstore.

One of my favorite artists of all-time. And he did it all from imagination.

That’s sad. His stuff always seemed almost impressionistic. Very eye-catching, which was a successful trait.

In my yute, I wanted to be a fantasy/sci-fi artist[0], but never really had the heart for all the hard work you need to do.

He was the concept artist for a very influential Robert and Abel Associates pioneering 3D computer graphic TV ad.

Wasnt he also a contributor to "cycles of fire"? My dad brought me that book from his visit to capevcaneveral florida.

I'm sad that is (probably) going to be a dying industry because of all the AI slop we're seeing.
