Art Attack

Dec 28 By Marjorie

Via the Endicott Studio for Mythic Arts, this article by Ursula Le Guin on how fantasy is not just for children: To conflate fantasy with immaturity is a rather sizeable error. Rational yet non-intellectual, moral yet inexplicit, symbolic not allegorical, fantasy is not primitive but primary. Many of its great texts are poetry, and its prose often approaches poetry in density of implication and imagery.

As a cover art fanatic (and aren’t we all?), I love visiting the websites and blogs of those who work with paints and pencils to bring books to life.  Some of my favorites—both old, and recently discovered (many through Irene Gallo’s wonderful blog)—are: 

Kinuko Craft

Frank Frazetta

John Picacio

Dan Milligan

Eric Fortune

Stephan Martiniere

Scott Fischer

James Jean

Michael Whelan

Charles Vess

John Jude Palencar

Hopefully, in the coming year, I’ll find many more to obsess over.  Any suggestions?
