Not sure if it was mentioned in your link, but I heard Frazetta lost his right arm (his drawing arm) to a stroke or somesuch, and re-learned to draw with his left arm.

Fucking gosu. Props. Mad props. 

seen about half of those.

but WTF... they listed Agbar Tower twice! (ones as "Torre Agbar") 

I saw a poster of some picture of this guy yesterday because there will be an exhibition in Hamburg. Thought "BANG! Inspiration!".
