This short blurb doesn't really do this incredible artist justice. If anyone has anymore specific information (exact date of birth, marriage date, number of children, etc.), please add it. The bio is really incomplete and could use a lot of work. —Frecklefoot 22:01, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Painting
Would it be more appropriate to have the painting at the top and his photo later. I think more people coming to the page are interested in his painting style.
Where are the images of his paintings?! For an entry about an artist its lacking considerably in images of his work. Only a single cover of a modern repurposing of his artwork on an album?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.98.1.226 (talk • contribs).
- There are numerous copyright issues to deal with. Some could be considered fair use, but even the album cover teeters on non-fair use because it is used in this article, which is not about the album. If you want more images, dive into the murkey depths of the copyright issues to try and get them in here. You'll probably have to scan the images of the paintings yourself, as we can't just lift them from other sites. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Paintings
Who determines which paintings are notable enough to be included on the list? I can think of several others I would add to the list. And wasn't a Molly Hatchet album cover by him as well? Noahbain
- Any widely circulated painting should qualify. I think the Molly Hatchet covers you're thinking of are actually "Dark Kingdom" and "The Death Dealer." I don't know if he was commisioned by them to do those paintings or if he created them and they were adapted by them for their covers. He might've done others too, however; those are the only two I know of. Other covers for Hatchet were done by Boris Vallejo, whose style is similar to Frazetta's. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
