Funny picture thread

I have never heard of the original Frazetta guy either, and had to google him yesterday. Some of his art looks vaguely familiar, but I am not really into art/artists at all.

If you didn’t read fantasy and sci-fi books in the 60s - 80s you probably weren’t exposed to much of his artwork.

Well, or bought heavy metal albums.

“Death Dealer” is pretty iconic and I expect almost everyone to have seen it at least once in some context

I think he also painted the definitive version of a barbarian that a few people may have heard of.

Death Dealer doesn't look really familiar, but the Conan pic is one of the ones I recognized along with a few D&D things.

I'm being snarky but yeah I'm old and was a young stoner into rock music, books, and comics, so there may be a wee bias there. Pretty much everyone I knew had at least one Frazetta poster, the best rooms were festooned with them (and maybe Farah and Eddie from Maiden), so I spent a lot of formative years surrounded by those paintings. Also the online school I like best (Watts Atelier) is crazy heavy on Frazetta, so I'm still looking at those paintings a lot today. Though I only have 2 or 3 hanging in the house right now.

Does it bother anybody else that the writing is "inverted" (start of sentence is further away rather than closer to reader)?

[Rendakor]

No, and when I see things written on roads the other way (usually things like "Stop Ahead"), that bothers me. The graffiti up there looks right.

[Teleku]

Yeah, same.

I'm in this camp. It's like having to transpose the key of a written piece of music as I'm sight-reading it.

Yes it's a picture of a tweet. You wanted a drawing?

What the fuck is happening to people?

edited to add: sometimes when you start down the crazy hole, it becomes predictable but never fails to take weird twists. Like she was educated in a convent, went to art school, and got her start in writing 'steamy' fiction and astrology stuff. And that guy she hooked up with in art school who later moved in with her and her husband and 5yr old daughter, knocked her up, and she pretended it was the husband's baby for years: https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Max+raised+our+child+for+two+years+before+I+told+him+he+wasn%27t+her...-a065501793

A whole bunch of unscrupulous shitgoblin sociopaths have found a really large, receptive set of marks that they are in the process of conning to literal death.

Isn't that just capitalism?

Late Stage Capitalism.

Late Stage Capitalism.

...with complications.

That's over here.

I mean, sure... but nowadays it's fucking everywhere.
