Like many nerds of a certain age, I've been a fan of Yoshitaka Amano's ethereal & dreamy art since first seeing his work on the Final Fantasy game series. He's also well known for his artwork for the Vampire Hunter D novel series, as well as his dreamy character designs for Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg. So you can imagine my elation when Instagram actually did something RIGHT for once in it's miserable existence-- it showed me an ad for an upcoming art exhibition of works by Amano at a museum that was not too far away from me. Usually Amano's works are shown in galleries in places like New York City and Los Angeles, much too far away for me to consider seeing myself, so this felt like an incredibly rare opportunity. Because of this, I ended up going with a group of friends I told about the exhibition, because why WOULDN'T I share this kind of amazing experience with others?! The more the merrier, right?
