Updated 5.21.09 • BIG BARRON NEWS!!!
Barron will be having a show of his journals at the Society of Illustrators in New York June 10th - July 31st. Barron has been talking about doing a show like this for quite a while, it's not something you want to miss! His illustration is amazing but you get to look at his soul in his journals. The examples below are from Barron's Journal Blog but it is truly an experience to see the real journals in person. I envy all of you on the east coast!! For us on the west coast, Barron will be exhibiting some new drawings at Bert Green Gallery in Los Angles in July. Finally, Barron's Life After Black (see below) is being reprinted if you missed out on it the first time round. |

Life After Black |

Life After Black is simply one of the most amazing books I have ever seen. Of course Barron's art work is beyond compare but I don't think I have ever seen another book of such high quality. When I first looked through the book I keep checking to see if pages had stuck together since the paper is so thick. Barron was eager to show me how close the reproduction was to his original journal. It is as close as you will come to owning the real thing.
The main reason this book is so extraordinary is due to the hard work of Carl Wyckaert. I had a chance to meet him last year and besides being a great guy he is a genuine admirer and supporter of Barron's work. He told me he would like to produce more of Barron's journals depending on the sucess of Life After Black. From what I understand Life After Black is almost sold out so I hope that means we will see more journals in the fututre. If you are a fan of Barron's work please support Carl's efforts. |

Homage to Barron Storey |

Barron has undoubtedly had the most influential presence in my work. He was a great teacher and one of the most giving people I have ever been lucky enough to meet. This site will help you find work by Barron Storey, who although he is a genius is very humble and keeps a low profile. To start with Barron's website ( click the yellow finger nail ) has an archive section with small thumbs of his work. This site is by no means a complete listing of Barron's work but a starting point for anyone interested in this important artist. Barron's works are countless and it would probably take quite a sizable chunk of my life to try to track them all down. Hopefully you will be awed by what you find and begin your own search. The Storey is out there! Good luck!!! |
