Oh no...........I have been wanting to go to his museum, but I have been too busy working so that I can continue to eke out a living.    
 
This was the very first piece of artwork that I ever saw by Frank Frazetta.  I bought an Ace paperback of " Tarzan the Invincible" in 1963 and this was the cover art.  
 
 
 
A few months later I bought " Tarzan and the Lost Empire " and this became my favorite Frazetta picture:  
 
 
 
I was thirteen years old and I thought Frazetta was just The One!!       Excellent

did he do the art work for Conan? looks like some of his work. could be wrong.

I wasn't upset about the black cat crossing my path this morning but mouthing "your fu@#ed" as he passed was just rude.

Yeah he did a lot of the Conan, Tarzan. Barsoom Art.
 
He was to SCIFI what Vargas was to Soft Porn.

Yes, the very first pic on this thread is one of his Conan works.

Another favorite of mine (who's still kicking) is Boris Vallejo. His drawings are similar to Frazetta's but his style is a little different in regards to detail.
