Thanks Joe for that bit of truth, AS you say most people put Frazetta on such a high bar that they believe everything that is said about him. Since I know you have meet him, and certainly over the years talked with many other artist who have been around Frazetta as well, I know when you say there is no way he did those oils (Death Dealer's/Conan's) over night I believe you. It takes nothing away from the man himself. I think your point is that any piece of art worth doing just takes time (not a one night/ or a few hours job) Even tho you worked this one straight thru (beacuse of your skill and focus) you made a wonderful painting. But, I understand where you say it's not your best. As artist we feel like there is never enough time on any project. So when we are under the gun we do what it takes to get the job done. That Joe is why you are a Pro, you always come thru. After what you put yourself thru on the Marvel Masterpiece Cards, I will never question your effort on anything job you do, EVER! It has to make you feel good tho to know that you can still do a 25 hours job and not kill over.
