Updated 10.08.09 • Return of the Marat Sade Journals
Thanks once again to Carl Wyckaert, Barron Storey's Marat Sade Journals will be available after being out of print for more than a decade. Here you will find infomation about the 2009 edition. This edition looks to be even better than the original and from the quality of the Life After Black journal (see below) I can't wait to getting my hands on one. Carl says these should be available for next week's Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco. |

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!!! |
