I believe the Frazetta Girl shown also would have been an R. Crumb Girl, too.

I have to share somethings here someday.

I had all the Lancer 1st ed. Conan pb's and all the "savage sword of Conan" .

I love that you don't romanticize the interactions between the icons we know and the icons we really don't know. So many would play up those interactions, while the reality is usually so much more mundane. The reality is so much more, well, realistic. I grew up with Franks art and seeing him as a real person is refreshing. So many would glom onto the mythos that hearing the reality of the situation is much more genuinely inspiring. Not every thing is as Hollywood as it may seem from the outside. Thanks for the dose of reality regarding the icons of my youth. They were actually real people doing business, and doing it well. Please keep it alive... and real.

Are you an artist too?

OMG you look just like your grandma!! 😍😎

Always love Frank frazetta artwork I grew up in time when I seen the artwork available it was on music covers of different bands I enjoyed.. My mother was Barbara Jean frazetta, my grandfather was Paul frazetta, it is crazy to be connected to one of the most talented and pioneering painter of his time. Always wonder if I was related to him many generations ago. ❤😂❤

I’m a fan of horror and fantasy, but in Sci-Fi, the only thing I love I sci-fi is Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who, it’s a battle ship of Galáctica that I love( love space ships) and remember that arts , it’s so beautiful masterpieces arts, thank you history lessons

Glad to get a little more background info. Frazetta will ALWAYS be my primary artistic inspiration. I remember coming across the B: G themed images in one of the Ballentyne(?sp) books and always wondered what that was about, because the likenesses of known stars were unusual in my experience with Frazetta's work. Now I know...

As a kid I read them all thank you for bringing back such a wonderful memory

love all his work, the first I remembered was the death dealer art on the Molly Hatchet album cover

You’re doing an EXCELLENT job of presenting your material. It’s quite a feat of oratory on a time limit. But the material is fascinating. The first glimpse of your grandfather’s work I got was when I was in my early teens, when one of my brothers was getting into the Conan novels, and the cover art was so compelling. I swear, between Frazetta and Petty girls, I became a “rump & ankles” man at the dawn of my puberty. Lastly what was the Frazetta stance regarding Boris Vallejo ? I say ‘stance’ because his artwork, though very good, always looked like he was trying to out-Frazetta Frazetta.

Frank's work is always an inspiration! I'd love to know more about the artists that inspired him and where he found inspiration for creating his paintings? Did he turn to the works of antiquity or other contemporary artists? Was his goal to reimagine the traditional conventions of both his period piece works as well as science fiction and fantasy works

Wow. This made my lunch break! Nothing like hearing an old Roman tell (you know who) Hollywood to GFYS.

Well done! Thanks for keeping legacy alive

Great stuff! Frank was an American Master of art- he truly shaped the art and style of thousands of artists and inspired thousands of writers and creators! Thank you for keeping his memory alive!

Incredible series! Frank was an incredible inspiration to so many artists and teenage boys!

In the 60s and 70s aa a young boy i loved art and comic books and drew quiet a bit and well Frazetta was one of my art heroes and the Frazetta girls definitely did not go unnoticed . In my last year of hi school 1975 i met a very curvy gorgeous clean cut beach bunny hippy surfer girl right from the beachs of Southern California, South Orange County she was definitely a Frazetta girl 34D+, 28 , 36 athletic thighs , sorry 😬 , exactly how frank drew them . Fell madly in love married and still madly in love . Thank you for these i miss Mr Frazetta .

Sounds like Frazetta and Lucas shared the same mindset, on owning the intellectual property. Also means they would have respected each others position on the matter.

I still have the two ads I clipped out of the TV Guide.

Frazetta imitators just Bore us

A student in the same community college I went (mid 70s) to was a talented artist who followed FF. I enjoyed Edgar. R. Burroughs writing and found FF art on book jackets, and realized my student buddy was ripping off FF ideas of the female form. I am subbed.

A fantastic video chapter! You would have thought you have been doing this for years with how well everything flowed ! Great stuff!!

I loved Battlestar Galactica! I had that Colonial Viper with the launchable missile.

Terrific episode, Sara, thank you so much for doing these. I've loved your grandfather's work since I was a kid back in the '70s, and over the years I've come to appreciate them more and more. I have no idea how many "Frazetta Girls" there have been, but I'm certain that you were his favorite.

Hiring Frank Frazetta to do artwork for Battlestar Galactica is like hiring Michelangelo to do artwork for Scooby Doo. I'm sorry it doesn't work. I watched Battlestar Galactica waaaay back then and it sucked. Cheesy, dumb and only slightly entertaining with very few new ideas. My opinion, if you liked it, more power to you.

Just. Subbed. I'm a long time fan. Glad this popped up in my feed.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Sara hosting one of these episodes dressed as the original Vampirella, as she resembles her so much. Just sayin’

Can I buy posters of his Battlestar paintings?

Glad he stuck to their guns. Still one of the best fantasy artist ever.

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've always been a huge fan of your grandfather's work. He was in a class by himself

Hilarious

Your grandfather's art covered my walls when I was growing up in the 70's. My parents even bought me his art books when those were published. Somehow sadly, my brother ended up with the hardback books and lost them😢. I Sub'd! Look forward to more amazing facts and sci fi intrique. Thanks do much! Great job!

My pro with Battlestar Galactica was the space shots. There were only about 6 different action combat shots & every episode used those 6 shots over and over from the Pilot to the last episode.

Excellent episode!

While serving for 39+ years in the U.S. military, I painted approximately 100 aircraft mural images. And your grandfather was one of my inspirations. The images on the Molly Hatchet album covers were stunning! I thank you for keeping his legacy alive!

The museum was right in the path of the hurricane, very glad to see you made it through, I was wondering.

Frazetta is one of my favorites and a big influence/inspiration to me as an artist. I first discovered him as a little kid by looking at and reading through my father’s Creepy and Eerie magazines back in the 70s.

I loved both Star Wars and Battlestar, although Battlestar had weakening storylines/plots toward the end of the series and, regardless of cost, may have been running out of ideas that could retain viewers. I had a crush on the blonde Laurette Spang who was Starbuck's love interest and a "solicitor." We had a family bakery I grew up in, and at 13yo I worked the front and helped customers. One was(as it turned out) Spang's mother. She gave me a signed photo on a visit. Then one day, in came mom and daughter.😳 Honestly, she was beautiful (but toooo thin). About a year later in my junior year of HS, I fell hard for a charismatic brunette and its been brunettes ever since.❤😂

Wow, that is wonderful. I am seeing so much that your grandfather, Frank Frazzeta, did that I did not know about. I can look at his art with adoration for long periods of time.❤

Very happy to see this, been a fan since I was a teenager back in the 1980s.

Imagine the path Star Wars would have taken if Lucas had just said: "Ya know what? Let's do it. Let's treat this like a creative partnership.". Sadly George is not known for being collaborative like this.

It's interesting how Frazetta knew ownership rights and wasn't allowing ABC to take advantage of him. Many artists were not so aware.

Would you mind if I embed this video in a post I've created about Frank's film posters? Great story and very well told by yours truly.

I have to shamefully confess, I am not a book reader. But, in my youth, I used to browse bookstores just to see the Conan and Tarzan paperback covers. Then I would imagine what the stories would be about. I also recall my brothers having a few comic books with Frazetta covers. These too had me mesmerized, only to be slightly disappointed when the artwork inside did not match the covers. Oh how I’d like to see a graphic novel with all of the pages containing Frank’s artwork. That’s why I thoroughly enjoy the animated Fire & Ice.

Had the honor of meeting your Grandma at the museum in 2006. She was a real sweetheart and was great to spend the day viewing all the great art Frank created in person. Thanks for putting these videos together, it's nice to hear the back stories to his work and Ellie's support in making it all happen.

i love this! 🙌🏽

Met Frank many years ago at a show and a true gentleman and great artist, we all had a good laugh as both our names are closely spelled a long lost cousin..lol your doing a fantastic job with keeping his legacy alive.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I loved the OG Battle Star Galactica as a kid. I thought everything was super cool. The four paintings are epic and probably show us a glimpse of the worldbuilding that could have been.

I'm first beginning to see your fabulous video about your fantastic grandfather, Sara , so now I have decided to take the opportunity to watch the video every time you present it to us !😊 Thank You for this opportunity to get more profoundly and deeper into Frank's inspiring and phenomenal work!🙏
