Frank Frazetta Painting With Fire Autographed By Director 17 Of 200 (2003)
Item History & Price
This edition of the documentary is one of 200 that were signed by director Lance Laspina when the project was first released on disc.
For over 50 years, Frank Frazetta dominated the art world with his images of fierce warriors, helpless princesses, and fantastical creatures set in the most lavish landscapes. His impact upon the worlds of fantasy art and film was unparalleled, and it can be seen to this day in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Amazingly, he managed to do this ...while nearly dying because of an undiagnosed thyroid condition.
Even more astonishing was his ability to survive six strokes, which forced him to switch from drawing with his right hand to drawing with his left hand. The film documents the life and work of this legendary fantasy artist while exploring the universal theme of inspiration. Visual effects are used in a very unique way to bring his paintings to life. Combine this technique with an outstanding original score, and it makes for a very original documentary. Bo Derek, Ralph Bakshi, John Milius, Glenn Danzig, and Forrest Ackerman are just a few of the people who appear in this movie.
