The Society hosted a road trip to the Frazetta Museum. Unfortunately I had to work (I am surrounded by freelancers and they just don’t get the difference between weekends and weekdays) but Mark Korsak reports that an amazing time was had by all. Certainly the highlight for everyone was being able to meet Frank Frazetta.
Rumor has it that the Society is thinking of another road trip to one of my favorite places on earth -- The Brandywine Museum. If that happens, I just might have to *cough cough* take a sick day.

I told David Reuss to see if he can organize something in late fall so we can check out the following at the Brandywine:
Flights into Fantasy: The Kendra and Allan Daniel Collection of Children's Illustration
September 8 through November 18, 2007
Drawings and paintings by some of the most famous illustrators of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen, Jessie Willcox Smith, W.W. Denslow, Ernest Shepard, Ludwig Bemelmans, Dorothy Lathrop and E. Boyd Smith, are among the nearly 100 superb works selected from the remarkable collection of Kendra and Allan Daniel for this exhibition featuring fantasy in children's illustrations.
Holy crap, Arkady, you just made my day. That sounds awesome. We're going, Society or no. We can rent a car and pile in - swing by Philly and meet up with the Bell/Vallejo/Palumbo gang.
I'm excited....Do we really have to wait until Sept? Dang!
pzqxaeoOriginal artworks of Frank is very different than printed dark copies.
Every artist must see his originals.
I went there 2 years ago and planning one more trip. But last time when I go there I involved a car accident. It was 9 hours to drive for me. :)
I've just checked that brandywine museum from web. So great.
I checked their directions if I want go alone. It's very funny directions at the most of places...
But I really hate from that kind of directions. I just want to see postal address. So I can write it gps and find evrything. But instead of adress there is some directions like turn right you will see green orange tree turn right go ahead... Brrrrr.
OK. I will write my GPS like that... :) Even I will write them a letter with their address on envelope:
"Dear post officer, If you're from Baltimore (...)
OK. Their exact coordinates are "@39.872001,-75.591400"
:)
The Frazetta Musueum is one of the places near the top of my 'must-see' list. I've been a fan for quite awhile. I did a three part post on Frazetta awhile back and still did not touch on all the aspects of how his work fascinates me. He is an amazing individual.
Some of that weekend-blindness on the part of freelancers might be the fault of editors or producers asking for enormous rewrites (or changes) for Monday morning, on late Friday afternoon!
I'm so annoyed that I couldn't make the Frazetta trip. Brandywine is tops though, I'll drive down and meet up if that happens. Think there's any chance that we could meet NC's ghost?
Hey Irene and gang:
Heck no you don't have to wait until September! We'd love to see you guys! Come on over!
Julie, Boris, Tony, and David
