Dorman, Dave - Recreation of Frank Frazetta's A Princess of Mars

During his teenaged years Dave Dorman did some recreations of Frank Frazetta's paintings in order to learn his craft.

In the past year or two, Dave has been approached by a number of collectors to give new attempts at recreating some of Frazetta's classic paintings. Dave has taken on this challenge, and I approached him about the possibility of recreating this particular version of Frazetta's A PRINCESS OF MARS. Dave was amenable (he is only willing to do one or two such recreations per year, since he has his own work to do).

A couple of weeks after I had approached Dave about this commission, Heritage had that very Frazetta original up for auction. Dave does videos on Facebook under the "Dave's Dugout" title, and one can watch the entire process of Dave painting this original in the archives of his Facebook page.

Dave has taken "in process" photos of his developing this recreation which I am awaiting his sending to me, and may be able to post a few of these in the additional images at a later date.

Dave's attempt was meant to mimic Frazetta's painting as closely as possible and I think he did a commendable job with this.
