 An illustration that depicts Frazetta being welcomed by his own creations

A Jack Kirby and Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Famer, Frazetta is an iconic figure when it comes to modern fantasy and sci fi art.  Best-known for his interpretations of popular mythical characters such as the Deathbringer, Conan and Tolkien’s creatures from Middle-Earth, Frazetta has been recognized by Time Magazine, among others, as the Master of Fantasy. Despite the rise of digital art, Frazetta’s original works made of ink and paint are still very much in demand today.

In celebration of the late Frank Frazetta’s birthday this February 9th, we have collected 35 epic illustrations that would be excellent digital canvas print designs. This collection is made up of well-made derivative artworks and some originals where elements of Frazetta’s unique style are incorporated. Check them out and leave a comment after!

If you’re not familiar with Frank Frazetta’s works, check out the unofficial Frank Fazetta Fantasy Art Gallery to view paintings and other goodies made by the master himself.

1. Penguins are one of more than 40 species of birds that can’t fly. But they do have feathers and lay eggs just like the others.

2. Of the 18 penguin species, Emperor penguins are the most recognizable as they starred in movies like Happy Feet and March of the Penguins.

3. Penguins have sharp beaks and mouths filled with backward facing spines to offset their lack of teeth. They are carnivores that feed on fish, squid, krill and other crustaceans.

4. Penguins eat snow as a source of fresh water. But they are also able to drink salt water without adverse effects because they have a gland that excretes excess salt from their body.

5. Penguin feathers are often mistaken as fur because they are short and compact. Their feathers and thick layer of blubber help penguins stay warm. Baby penguins or penguin chicks have soft and fluffy feathers called “down.”

6. Penguins really do sing and dance–although not as well as portrayed in the movie Happy Feet. To attract their mates, Emperor penguins make unique trumpeting sounds while male Adelie penguins do dance-like movements with their head and flippers.

7. Penguins’ counter-shaded body colors help protect them from predators, as it acts as the perfect camouflage when they’re in the water.

8. Penguins can see well underwater. They can also swim as fast as 20 miles per hour and hold their breath underwater for 20 minutes. Penguins may look deceptively cute and cuddly, but they are excellent hunters.

9. Penguins spend most of their 15-20 year life at the sea. Natural predators like sea lions and foxes as well as pollution and the various effects of global warming pose the biggest threats to their lives.

10. Aside from Antartica, penguins can also be found in South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. There are NO penguins up north.

An aviation pioneer, feminist icon, bestselling author and fashion idol, Amelia Earhart, due to all her accomplishments, was already one of the most influential figures of the 1930s. But it was after her mysterious disappearance in 1939  after a failed circumnavigational flight attempt around the globe when her popularity truly soared. When the combined efforts by the US Navy, Coastguard and private search missions lead by her own husband failed, people came up with various theories and myths to explain what took place after the plane crash. One of these urban legends which proposed that Earhart survived and assumed a different identity, was covered by the National Geographic Channel in 2006 and was declared improbable and probably false.

‘Til this day, researchers haven’t given up on their quest to uncover Earhart’s mystique. On my part, I occasionally find myself singing the lines “Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?/ Who holds the stars up in the sky” (Switchfoot).

In celebration of Amelia Earhart Day this January 11, I have collected 29 vintage photos and potential canvas print designs of Amelia Earhart. UPrinting offers canvas printing services and can help you come up with the perfect Earhart canvas.  So check out these photos of the beautiful Amelia Earhart for inspiration. If you’re planning to use any of them for your own use, don’t forget to ask permission from the original sources.
