Just locked in. And it's just coming out because he had to. And his wife would say, yeah, his pain was still wet when I was taking it to get shipped because he would wait till the last minute. But these masterpieces would come out. And I just was really inspired by him. So when he passed away, his kids said, what should we do with the art? I said, well, let's make a movie based on the art.
Who's got this now? They've sold some of them. Frank Jr. still has the museum up there. He still has a lot of the masterworks. Each kid has some of the masterworks. And and they're all great and keeping his legacy going. And I want to make a movie about it just to get his name back up. You know, we're blown. We were all inspired by him.
How did he find out about those books? I think it was just an assignment. And he would barely read the book. He would just be like, ah, he would just do his own thing.
Because of the paintings.
And those paintings and those books, no matter, even the best art book today. When you see the original, they cannot capture what the original has. You'll be blown away. I've got like 14 different Frazettas that you've got to come see.
Especially as an illustrator, you're going to freak out.
Yeah.
Just pan over to the left, and it's on the left side. I saw it.
The kids said, can you take our paintings for us and show them to influential people? Because hurricane season's coming. They lived in Florida. And we don't want anything to happen. They're insured, but fucking they could be gone.
I was like, fuck yeah, I'll take them to my house. So for a year and a half, I had these... The barbarian one you were just, the one with the sword stand?
So I would have everyone who came to South by Southwest or was just in town, they'd come to my house and make a pizza and we would just stare and drool over the Frazettas.
It just was dream imagery. It's like you knew what dreams were.
It would feel like we dreamt this, too, and recognized it.
Yeah, you know, skinny little kid, and you're going like, is that what I'm going to be when I grow up?
So I don't know if you've ever read these books, but they were based on, these comics, they were based on the books that would just translate the books.
um there was a comics code so the conan the barbarian comic had to follow the code but then there's a black and white magazine called savage sword of conan oh i read those they didn't have to follow the code right that's why people would get killed and they would just and roy thomas would just like take the book and put the book in several chapters yeah they were brutal they're really great yeah that's what size grew up without drawing out of that learning how to draw anatomy from the conan book
They weren't brutal because they had a comics code.
Because they're comic-sized.
Yeah, look at the one where he's nailed to the cross. That's Boris Vallejo.
Oh, this is a great Frazetta story. He's another one.
