Randy Kintz becomes "Museum Worthy!"

Hey there, folks! I got a little something different from the usual news and info I generally give you all. It isn't about new art for sale, interviews, reviews, or appearances by the talent (at least, not in the traditional sense). Today's news a little something special.

Starting tomorrow, the Maryhill Museum in Goldendale, WA will be hosting a new exhibit called "Comics at the Crossroads." It will be spotlighting the changing face and importance of comic art over the last few decades, in both pop culture and the mainstream artistic purview, as it spotlights the large concentration of comic artists in the region. Here's the description of what this exhibit is all about:

"In recent years comics have moved from the cultural fringes into the artistic and literary mainstream. The Pacific Northwest is home to a growing community of comic artists, including more than half a dozen major comic publishing houses and many smaller ones. The exhibition Comics at the Crossroads: Art of the Graphic Novel examines this vibrant and evolving art form with a focus on 40 Northwest artists who are established stars and emerging lights in the comic art universe.


The exhibition features previously published and unpublished works, such as sample page spreads and book covers, along with related toys."

Of the 40 artists, Sequential Treasures own Randy "Rantz" Kintz is among them. A page from one of the issues of the Jason and the Argonauts mini-series he did for Bluewater Comics a few years ago, will be a part of the display. All of us here couldn't be prouder of him and hope that this will serve as an example to many outside of the comic community, that comic art is first and foremost just that: Art! You can get information on this from their press release, as well as a listing of the other artists involved and direction to the Maryhill Museum at their website. So, if you are going to be in the area tomorrow (or anytime within the next couple of months, while the display will be shown) make an effort to check it out. This is certainly a great honor, not only for Randy and the other artists, but for comic art lovers of all kinds!

That's it for now, but I'll be back soon, as I'm still hard at work behind the scenes on some things. Until then, peace out!
