According to his website, Frank Kelly Freas, one of the most prolific and popular science fiction artists in the world, died yesterday. In his long varied career as an artist Freas: illustrated stories for Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt, and many others; did covers for Mad Magazine; was an official NASA mission artist, designing space posters (some of which hang in the Smithsonian) and the Skylab I crew patch; designed album cover art; painted women on the noses of World War II bombers; and much, much more. He was nominated for the World Science Fiction Society’s Hugo Award an unprecedented twenty times, and was the first person to ever win ten times. He also won the Association of Science Fiction & Fantasy Artists Chesley Award for Artistic Achievement in 2001.
