// Frank Frazetta: Night Winds (1978). Oil on canvas board. “Last, but certainly not least, for my Beautiful Bizarre Takeover, I can’t get away without listing my main unrelenting influence during my teenage years. I came across a tiny, probably two by three inch advertisement in a magazine for a book about an artist named Frazetta. I knew nothing of him, but from the powerful impression of that tiny reproduction, I ordered the book. Some six weeks later, the book finally showed up in the mail shortly after I arrived home from school. I can remember to this day, the place I was sitting on my living room floor, the quality of light coming in from the window, as I poured over page after page of this magnificent thing before me printed on paper. I could feel the blood rushing through my veins, the pent-up passion swirling in my head. From this seemingly small event, the world opened up to me. It was the power of his highly personalized language, sheathed around his solid-to-the-core draftsmanship that made Frazetta stand heads above all others in his genre. That genre, for the most part, no longer interests me, but to this day, when I come face to face with his work, I can still feel that surge of adrenaline rapping at my heart.” This is @kentwms’ last post in today’s Social Media Thanks so much for sharing your inspirations with us! ... posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CRQ5qbdhCOA/
