🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

“In the late 70s, this Japanese stereo company hired me to paint a picture that indicated sound. How do you paint sound?

They said do anything that says “sound” because they were selling some stereo equipment. I suggested a warrior on a horse blowing a trumpet. And they said, “Yes, but will it look like sound?” What the hell was I supposed to do? I did this painting, and they proceeded in the final ad to draw in some sound waves, big crude lines right across my beam of light. I didn’t know what to do—-they didn’t know what to do.

They assumed I’d figure it out. It’s difficult for me sometimes I really get strung out when they give me stuff that doesn’t immediately sit well with me. It becomes a challenge not in the sense of creating good art but it becomes an impossible task, where I feel that I have to create from a mishmosh of concepts just to sell their product or satisfy their needs. I don’t do that.

I just want to create beautiful images that are emotionally and intellectually satisfying. When you start getting cute with me, I completely get confused. I want them to just leave me alone so that I can produce art that I love. And I’m sure that if I love it, they’ll love it. You may rest assured that I am my own toughest critic”- Frank Frazetta (Heavy Metal Magazine, 1991)
