Frank Frazetta - Frogs On the Moon Painting Original
<B>Frank Frazetta - "Frogs On the Moon" Painting Original Art (Doubleday, circa 1973).</B></I> Frank Frazetta gives his fans a glimpse of his quirky and offbeat sense of humor in this startling scene painted as a promotional piece for Doubleday's Science Fiction Book Club. Frazetta explained the assignment's special appeal on page 178 of <B>Legacy: Selected Paintings and Drawings by Frank Frazetta</B></I>, "One of the reasons I stopped doing movie posters regularly is because I just got bored. Usually what they wanted was what they'd seen someone else do -- originality meant nothing. I like variety. I like all kinds of things. They just couldn't understand why money wasn't enough of a reason to take on a job. The book club stuff was fun -- no one told me what to do. They were happy to have me and I was happy for the variety." Painted in oils on canvas board, this wild and whimsical piece measures approximately 18" x 14", is framed, and in Excellent condition. Signed at the lower right.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
