Escape into the fantasy art of comic and illustration masters MICHAEL KALUTA (The Shadow, The Books of Magic, Lucifer) and CHARLES VESS (Sandman, Stardust, The Book of Ballads)
In MoCCA's MODERN FAIRY TALES, Kaluta and Vess's distinctive and award winning art is brought together for the very first time in a museum, showing how traditional storytelling and art translate beautifully into the contemporary comic medium and also have fueled it to new heights.
Vess will be showing a variety of art including Stardust, The Book of Ballads and two stunning 4 feet by 8 feet charcoal works: Dierdre of the Sorrows and Tam Lin.
Kaluta includes such works as Witchraft, Straight on 'Til Morning, a collection of intricate art from his Celtic Calendars and Arwen and King Elessar from his Tolkien pieces.
A marriage of old and new, this exhibit blends together works inspired by traditional tales from Celtic mythology, ancient songs and visions from more modern storytellers such as Neil Gaiman and JRR Tolkien.
