FIRE AND ICE CONCEPTUAL ART


Always imitated but never equaled, Frank Frazetta's amazing artwork still sits at the top of the heap of fantasy illustration. Here is a piece of conceptual art that Mr. Frazetta did for Ralph Bakshi's animated sword and sorcery film, FIRE AND ICE. It is rendered in charcoal, gouach and watercolor and is the same technique that he painted one of his most famous works, "Golden Girl", of which I am the proud owner of a signed print that I bought in the 1970's.

The concept art recently sold at auction for $78,000.
