RIP Frank Frazetta

To one of my muses, Frank Frazetta: You will be missed by many, but you will live on forever. You leave inspiration, creativity and beauty as your legacy.



Love what my friend Travis had to say:

"His heroes are dynamic and commanding, his women voluptuous and sexy, his monsters dark and ferocious, every image an epic of imagination. It's not sad when someone has left behind such an amazing legacy, so I'll simply say thank you, Frank Frazetta, for your contribution to the world of art. You are an inspiration to me, to my fellow artists, and to generations of artists to come. You'll never be forgotten."

His work can be seen here.

Today is day 3 of my 30 days of web design. I will admit however, that I didn't do anything yesterday. There was housework to be done, and I was feeling under the weather. I was in bed by 7, and besides a little Facebook time and a chat with a friend, I didn't do much else.

So far today I've only worked on the historical society's rotary sign.





The day before however,  I did find a nice handy list of free Image gallery slide shows for my friend's site I'm working on. One of my week points right now is that I don't know javascript, and the amount of Flash I know would get me a slide show, but one that would be too heavy in size. Plus, it's good to see what's going on out there. Haven't picked one yet, but a couple I looked at so far may work.

I am simply outdated. I am behind in the webby times. I am an ancient lumbering dinosaur trying to play with the new kids on the block. But I will get there, at least I'll get SOMEWHERE in the next 30 days. I have three web sites I'm working on, plus the reverse engineering I intend to do as a learning tool.

Right now though, for the remainder of my time at work, I'm going to either going to read my new fantasy art magazine for inspiration for my blog illustration, or read about my boyfriend's grimples.
