RIP Frank by *Loopydave author's comments: Took some time out today for a fairly quick tribute pencil sketch after hearing of the passing of the great Frank Frazetta - and a naked round bottomed woman with a giant cat somehow seems most appropriate (if you know his art, you know what I mean, and if you don't shame shame shame!)

warning: this image might be behold too much description for some; view at your own discretion:
Young girl holding a fox that has been clubbed to death. Photo: Wallace Kirkland, Mar 01, 1944 Endorsing the above analysis! What a shot.LIFE! Right?! I’ve been looking into this girls eyes and studying her face for, what, like ten minutes, now. Looking as well at the dead fox with eyes and mouth agog, arms akimbo, body cupped in that uncomfortable locus shoulder ball joint. Ignore the crowd behind. Their field depth means they’re less than strophe than antistrophe, less antistrophe than epode, less epode than afterthought. Look at this girl! [LIFE.]
