Phantasmagoria

Cartooning at its finest is on display at Pogo in Pandemonia, as Walt Kelly  takes us deeper into his prehistoric fairy tale, a sort of 'there and back again' phantasmagoria.  

I just looked up that word to make sure I was using it correctly, and 'phantasmagoria' is defined as, "a constantly shifting complex succession of things seen or imagined." And, well, the image below ought to be next to the definition in the dictionary.

About Me

My photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
