Hello Fans:
Once again thank you for visiting with us. We are now offering a new section on our web site for the public to view many rare drawings and super close-ups of Frank’s fabulous artwork. This will be an extension from the original member’s section. There will be frequent up-dates of many rare rough to finished artwork, along with some text directly from Frank explaining some of his concepts behind the art.
We will also be using a higher resolution camera for better quality transfers for your viewing pleasure.
Many of the guests to the grand opening last June are still wondering what ever happened to the booklets that I said you would be receiving in October. Well, they are still at the printers. I will get them back by June 25th, Frank will initialize them and finally the post office will deliver them to you. I do appreciate your patience in this matter.
As far as news from the Frazetta estate, all is well with Frank considering he battled it out with two stray rottweillers that came running across the field from an adjacent property, then falling off his bicycle, and fracturing a rib. Considering this along with his other health issues, he is in remarkable spirits. Now that the museum has reopened, we are looking forward to meeting each of you personally sometime this year. Anyone with questions pertaining to the museum can call me at 570-424-5833 during normal business hours.
Below are two watercolors drawn by Frank, which is believed to be his fantasy home. These were done back in the late 70’s when they were considering building on the mountainside across the field.
If you did not read last month’s news, Mrs. Frazetta has added a new wall of Frank’s wonderful pencil drawings from the Arcadium book. Many visitors from the previous year had requested to see more of the pencils and watercolors and she was gracious enough to oblige.
The Death Dealer steins should be available by the end of June if the shipping date stays on schedule. There will be a limited supply of signed and numbered steins available for anyone interested. Anyone interested in reserving a lower numbered one may email me at
golf2000@ptd.net
. They are approx 12 inches high with a brass hinge to raise the top and each is hand painted to match the original painting.
Frank’s enjoys playing with the grand kids every chance he has and now that his daughter Holly has returned from Florida for the summer, it gives him an additional three grand kids to occupy his time. He mentioned possibly trying to play golf with me this summer because his strength is slowly coming back to his right side. If he shook your hand, you would never know he had lost much of the strength in his right side. He is a remarkable individual, and continues to enjoy life through all his adversities.
One day I hope to finish his biography, (book), so that I can share some stories with you about my life growing up with a wonderful father. As great as an artist he is his presence as a father figure surpassed it 100 times over. He is always there when you need him and reassured you even when you failed to accomplish what was set out to do. When my second set of twins gets a bit older, I intend to continue where I left off.
Thank you for joining us,
Frank Frazetta Jr.
