Dang, that is really lame of him. I've been studying Frazetta's work for an animation project I'm working on, and Jr's attempt to cash in on the legacy is downright shameless. I mean seriously, what legitimate reason would he possibly have had for entering the building using construction equipment? He obviously just wanted to break a hole in the wall, steal the paintings, and then leave. If he had permission to be there he would have just used a key (and even then, he might have entered for bad reasons), so his ass is going to be in jail. You do not smash a hole in the side of a museum and expect not to get caught. Even if he weren't trying to steal the legacy of one of the greatest fantasy painters of all time, he'd deserve to end up in jail just for being such an idiot.

BTW, I want to visit Frazetta's museum at some point, and Jr. apparently thinks that there shouldn't be any paintings there, so that makes it sting just a little bit more for me.

He tripped the alarm with a backhoe! That's awesome.

Sad to hear that Frank Frazetta Sr is suffereing from dementia in his old age.

That's a damn shame....hope the guy gets prosecuted.

Have you seen the documentary FRAZETTA:PAINTING WITH FIRE?

Family infighting huh? Ouch.

I remember watching a documentary about the life of Frazetta on IFC, and Frazetta seemed very critical of his son choosing not to become an artist. Stating that his son would have been great if only he would have applied himself more into the work. You could tell there was alot of disappointment there. However, Frank Frazetta later praised his grandchildren's interest in art, and it was easily apparent from watching the documentary that he very much would like for them to follow in his footsteps. Atleast at that point in time.

not cool, Junior. not cool at all.

Jr isn't allowed to enter the museum much less being told to use any means to get inside by his father. He basically has a restraining order against him not go go within a certian distance of the place.

My message to the perpetrator:

Hey Junior, maybe you should take your dad's advice and take up painting, because you certainly don't show much potential as a catburglar!
