The late, great master Frank Frazetta was one of my very early idols and my main inspiration for applying to art school at the University of Washington.
Little did I know in 1977 that the art world thought little of "illustrators", regardless of their impact, skill and artistic footprint.
The below drawing, titled "The Hunted" is a pen and ink drawing on paper, and was part of my application package to the school. I recall the otherwise affable and nice career counselor denigrating it as "illustration rather than art."
Feh!
