Description Here's my humble tribute to Frank. Thank you for so many years of inspiration.

I need to learn how to paint...this was my first time trying to do a full moody nature scene. Many many flaws, and it's really not done yet. But, so it goes.

Hey. I said I could see FRANK Β in your work before I even saw this one . There will never be another but we can all carry on down the trail he blazed .

That's very kind of you. Β Yeah, I have no idea how he was able to do what he did. Β Lots of imitators, but everyone pales.

FRANK WAS HIS OWN THING IN EVERY WAY. I DON'T THINK ITS GENERALLY CONSIDERED THAT BEFORE HIM THE FANTASY SCENE WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. HE WAS UNIQUE HIS INNER EYE WAS ASTOUNDING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR GETTING BACK TO ME I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE SHARED A BETTER INSPIRATION AND I DO VERY MUCH ADMIRE YOUR FANTASTIC ART.

Wow, this is really an inspiring piece. The more I see of your work, the more I like! Even though it's sketchy, I really like the mood here. In fact, I believe the sketchiness adds to the overall atmosphere.
Again, it's inspiring.

I lucked out I think. Well, Frank's stuff is so ingrained in my memory that I managed to squeeze this off without first refreshing my memory of what his stuff looked like.

Great job man. Love the expression. Yes, she doesn't look too scared, just a little stressed. Very fun piece and a fitting tribute.

hells to the yea! when i saw the thumbnail..i was like bitchen! a frazetta tribute piece...rest in peace frank!great tribute piece...his death has rocked the artworld! i cant see how much art gets released by his family now that the masters gone!

BenTanArt In reply to Bait-n-switch [2010-05-17 20:42:00 +0000 UTC]

Heh, good to know it reads in thumbnail. Actually when you think about it, it's amazing that a person's work is so recognizable that you can recognize someone else's lame-ass attempt to imitate it.

yea!im more shocked that the immortal frank is dead...got real drunk last monday...but i feel his images are more family to me than the real life pawns i find in my physical realm..i search for people with souls everyday..but your art was not a lameass attempt at franks style..it kicked ass..you are able to do so many styles!!i dont ever return comments to people i dont admire extremely...looks like you got some big boots to fill nowthat franks gone...lol!anyhoo!great piece bro..you fuckin rock!

BenTanArt In reply to Bait-n-switch [2010-05-19 19:56:44 +0000 UTC]

Hah, thanks. I appreciate the sentiments. It's definitely interesting to try on different styles, and I feel like I learn a lot when I do that. Perhaps at the cost of developing my own style. But then I look around and there are all these amazing artists. Can't think like that though, of course. But it's good motivation to get better. I feel like in my own art I'm always seeking some kind of elusive vision.

...but I ramble...

Thank you very much for the cheering up!

..sounds so familiar...i am always seeking new styles..so much so..i cant nail down a stylei think i just have so many influences these days and enjoy sculpture painting and drawing not to mention teaching kids and inspiring my friends.......so i really understand this elusive vision...maybe if u just work from photos ,life and your own imagination for a while u will strictly be working from your own vision..and all this influence from your masters will come to rest like a great cosmic soup and you will be rocking a style all your own that you can enjoy and finally find rest..from your vision quest.....yes be of great cheer! these warmer days are quite a relief!..never change your avatar its the sh*t! peace-out bro!

"wild animal"

Are you referring to the lizard or the lady? I see a happy ending.
