Have you ever watched a series devotedly then lost touch with it for some reason for a while and then gone back to it a couple of ...

The other day I saw a clip of Frank Frazetta explaining his artistic process and what made his style unique, I found it fascinating. It made me remember just how awesome he was and how little regard he has in the wider art world. There were a lot of great ...
