The passing of Frank Frazetta reminded me of the first days of my movie marketing career. I had no idea who he was, but I learned quickly. He was an inspiration to artists of all stripes, including photographers and illustrators. On many occasions I heard art directors use Frazetta's name as reference for what they wanted or hoped to see from an illustrator (not an easy assignment), and on one occasion I saw an art director use a number of Frazetta illustrations as examples of lighting for a special photos shoot (again, not an easy assignment). Another great artist passes through. We were privileged to stand witness.
