I know it'll just sound like blatant promotion, but I thought some readers may be interested in this (full disclosure: I did some help to promote the gallery before opening):

This exhibit is running in Winter Park, FL (Next to Orlando) through April, and features over 50 original paintings and copies of the pulps that featured them. The owner of this private collection is exhibiting them to the public for the first time, and he has taken great care in their collection and preservation, and in bringing it to the public eye. Seeing the original paintings that grace the covers of these pulps is amazing, and gives a better appreciation of the creation of this once throwaway art.
This is pure nerdgasm. Thanks.
