This video features a good look at some of the work of the late artist Frank Kelly Freas.
Signed copies of his two folio books sit on the shelf next to my desk in the studio.
I met him on several occasions in the late 70s and early 80s when I was just starting out as an illustrator, and he offered this pushy kid great encouragement, and a good number of painting tips. I was first introduced when he had a retrospective at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk Va. An amazing talent and a really nice guy. The Dean of Science Fiction Illustrators.
