I may be way off kilter here, but I had always believed that fantasy art is
the cartoon-ish art that students are mesmerized by - the ones with dragons,
superheros, etc. (do you remember "Heavy Metal"?). It is not surreal in that
surreal art is more "dream-like", or that fits the phrase "to take the
everyday and make it strange". I believe that the artist's intentions are
different. Please correct me if I'm misinformed! :-)
