Lowlife Paradise: The Works of Glenn Barr

Lowlife Paradise: The Works of Glenn Barr by Last, First. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780867195736.

Glenn Barrs robots, creatures, and vixens live in a seedy yet swinging 1960s universe, drenched in the haze of a postindustrial hangover. Working out of the burgeoning lowbrow movement in Detroit, Barr creates kinky inner sanctums adorned with disembodied cherubs, morally bankrupt babes, and sizzling femme fatales. Influenced by both pulp art and comics, Barrs work, beautifully sampled in this collection, is the visual equivalent of a David Lynch film. Glenn Barrs work has been seen in various print and television media including Mad, The Ren and Stimpy Show, and Bjorks I Miss You video.
