"The Eve of Legends" - A Tribute to Ken Kelly Fantasy Art

"A brief slideshow in tribute to the immense body of work in fantasy and sci-fi illustration created by my friend Kenneth W. Kelly. Ken sadly passed away in June of 2022.
Ken's legendary artwork transported fans of fantasy literature across ages undreamed of, where shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars. From yarns of sword & sorcery, to sci-fi, to Weird Tales & Creepy horrors from the strangest corners of forgotten lands - hither came Ken Kelly, paint brush in hand, a U.S. Marine, a husband, a father, an artist, with gigantic talent, and a gigantic body of work, to spread the colors of his imagination to fans across the earth!
This humble retrospective barely scratches the surface of a massive hoard of artwork created by one of the greatest fantasy artists who ever lived. Tutored personally by the great Frank Frazetta, Ken Kelly will be sorely missed by all who knew him and appreciated his gigantic talent.
I am honored to have been able to call him a friend."

This original instrumental by Lonely Mountain Band is named after one of Ken's paintings entitled, "The Eve of Legends," and is dedicated to his memory. I hope you are inspired by the music, and of course, by Ken's artwork.
