My A Princess of Mars piece was selected from over 300 entries for inclusion in the upcoming Frank Frazetta tribute exhibition at Gallery Provocateur. The Exhibition will open concurrent to the Chicago Comic Convention which runs from March 18th - 20th. Proceeds from the show will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for Frank's granddaughter Jessica, who has type 1 juvenile diabetes, in hopes for a cure.
Like so many, Frazetta’s work was a tremendous inspiration for me as a young artist and continues to be to this day. More specifically Frank’s Dark Kingdom piece from above was probably the single greatest influence on me and fueled my desire to pursue illustration. Copying from my older brothers Molly Hatchet album, I would spend countless hours trying to recreate the masterpiece as a child. That original album hangs in my studio to this day.
More info on the artists and exhibit can be found here, and many thanks to Veronika Kotlajic of Gallery Provocateur for putting together such a great show for such an awesome cause.
I am very honored to be a part of this show.
