“When people look back on my art, no one is ever going to say that I was the best draftsman who ever lived…but I think they’ll say I made the most unbelievable things believable: that standing in front of one of my paintings caused a suspension of disbelief.”

 Someone should write a fantasy novel based on this art style. One could use this somewhat forgotten art for illustrations.

 I feel like the Sword and Sorcery genre in particular really has this vibe.

 Absolutely 💯. Frank Frazetta was a very early  pioneer in this fantasy genre of art and actually  influenced much of the Sword and Sorcery type illustrations.

 Sounds like a great idea. 💡 Maybe one day I will get really creative and do something like that. One of my favourite poets is William Blake who also illustrated his own poetry with amazing art.
