It is with deep sadness that we learned today that legendary artist and illustrator, Frank Frazetta, passed away today. He was a personal inspiration to all of us here at Albion/Filmswords. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to his legion of fans throughout the world.

It is with the deepest regret that we announce the passing of legendary swordmaker and creator of the Conan swords, Jody Samson, on Saturday, December 27, in his shop in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Jody was a true friend, a multi-talented artist, and one of the most generous people you could ever meet. He will be deeply missed.
