NEXT WEEK: Glenn Barr Solo Show @ 323East Royal Oak - Wed Oct 28th wsg/ The Readies

I first noticed the art of Detroiter Glenn Barr in Orbit Magazine

He did a cool weekly advert sketch for Dave's Comics
and I always ripped through the now defunct detroit rag

to find it before even thinking about ready any of the articles

Comics of space chicks with ray guns in future cars kick ass

if you have this comic please email

kirk@motorcityblog.net right now

I heard about a new art gallery opening up in Royal Oak called CPOP

and was having trouble finding the time to get over and check it out

partly because I was moving back out to Los Angeles and getting ready for the trip

As we were hitting the road (Uhaul packed with truck on the back)

I didn't want to leave town without checking out CPOP

so we double parked the huge van in the street near the gallery

and went inside to see what CPOP was all about

After the short tour we were heading for the door and almost gone when I was convinced by Rick Manore to purchase a Glenn Barr litho and comic called "Hot Rails to Hell" and "HEEP"

Thanks a million Rick!

Dirty Show 8

since that day I have had an eagle eye for Glenn Barr artwork

snatching up anything I could afford

whenever possible

This guy is a badass - one of my all time favorites and I have always looked to his artwork as a way of returning home to Detroit whenever I was not able to be here in the motorcity

Souvenir of Sadness

in his 1st solo show in over 7 years next week
