So my housemate discovered a fantasy exhibit close to town. Over at the Flint Institute of Arts, they had an exhibit titled "Enchanted: History of Fantasy Illustration". I was busy, and it never seemed to be the right time, but over Thanksgiving break, I finally had a short block of free time so off to Flint I went.
I have to say that while I enjoyed the exhibit thoroughly, I must admit that I was hoping for a little more Frank Frazetta. An exhibit on fantasy illustration and only one Frazetta painting? Well, I guess that this just means I need to plan out a trip to the Frazetta Art Museum in Pennsylvania or the Frazetta Art Gallery in Florida.
The following are a couple of my favorites from the exhibit.
 |
| "Rose Red", 2013 Dan Dos Santos |
 |
| "A Princess of Mars", 2012 Mark Zug |
 |
| "Maelstrom", 2015 Eric Velhagen |
 |
| "Mulan", 2018 Eric Velhagen |
 |
| "Conan and Red Sonja", 2022 Bob Layton |
 |
| "Dungeons & Dragons", 1977 David C. Sutherland III |
Definitely need to visit this exhibition again. There was so much to see that I don't really feel like I had to take it all in. Perhaps on my birthday...
