Hey guys!
I crossed the Delaware Water Gap from NJ into Pennsylvania and
visited the Frank Frazetta Museum with a friend early this afternoon.
We unfortunately did not catch a glimpse of the great illustrator
himself, but were able to spend a decent amount of time talking
to Frank's Wife Ellie, who was very outgoing, friendly, and mucho
informative.
It's a very classy little museum on a lovely estate out in the Pennsylvania
countryside (almost hidden as there are no big signs advertising it and
you need to have detailed directions to find it in the first place, i.e.,
I think they only want serious fans of his work to visit, and are not looking
towards attracting the odd wayward Pocono tourist).
There is a fantastic collection of Frazetta's work on display...and oh
so many oil paintings that I've seen on the cover of many a famous
fantasy novel and/or anthology.
If you don't mind a $10.00 donation fee to enter, and you are within driving
distance, I highly recommend it as a great destination if you are looking
for a major creative and inspirational jolt...especially if you don't have
anything against amazing paintings of Lions, and Martians, and Babes, oh my!
