RE:BOB Barron Storey Paintings

An illustrator, graphic novelist, and noted educator, Barron Storey has created award-winning artworks for the covers and pages of Time, National Geographic, Saturday Review, and The Sandman: Endless Nights among others. The artist’s paintings are held in the collections of the National Air and Space Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, and the National Portrait Gallery. His published journals include Life After Black and Marat/Sade Journals. The forthcoming book Black Iraq documents each painting from his sold out exhibition of the same name at Anno Domini in 2005. This is Storey’s fourth solo exhibition with Anno Domini.

"I've been referencing Bob Dylan's lyrics in my journal for many years. They are words that I have been living by for most of my life. I've often taken liberties with them, finding in them a lens through which to make sense of my personal life as well as life in general. Dylan is an oracle, for me and many others.

These works are a sharing and a tribute, offered with profound respect."

~ Barron Storey, San Francisco, 2010


Artist's Reception: May 7, 2010, 8pm 'til late

For four decades Barron has been one of the most influential illustrators working. He has influenced George Pratt, Kent Williams even Gary Kelley and many others.

I have had the privilege of watching Barron work during his visits to The Illustration Academy for the last few years, he is a great teacher and a Monster drawer. His journals/sketchbooks are second to none.

If at all possible, I highly suggest that everyone attend this show! You will learn something and be blown away.

Barron Best of luck!

Barron Storey is a bad ass. Everybody should get the chance to go and see his artwork/sketchbooks/journals in person... they are incredible. I wish he could come back to Ecuador for another workshop :=
