Frank Frazetta, 1928-2010.

I don't show his influence on the surface of my work, but there's a lot I learnt about composition from him. And for some reason it was the drunken pornmonger alternate identity who wanted to claim this piece. Go figure.

Somewhere, somewhere, a child is born who will find that sword and take it up again in their paint-stained hand!
