In Honor of Frazetta

We made a post last week when sword and sorcery illustrator Frank Frazetta passed away. Little did I know that local photographer Kim Frost was working on something that pulls inspiration from his pieces. There is an interesting story here about the models. They are...

fine art animated GIF?

I've found two, made by Blake Sinclair. Both of these images are everything I thought an animated GIF was not; subtle, artistic, subdued and beautiful. I can feel the breeze through the trees and grasses. These images are a double whammy for RVA, as they're a...
