Check Out Glenn Glasgow
See that serious looking guy to the left? That’s Glenn Glasgow. He’s a writer, painter, and poet from the British West Indies that takes a different view to his art. In the book Our Market, he writes through the eyes insects, and his his book Phzed, he writes through the eyes of the tools used to build Stonehenge, Noah’s Ark, and the Pyramids of Giza.
His works are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books A Million, as well as his website, Phzed which offers t-shirts of over 100 of his paintings.
His artwork is simple and to the point, and reminds me of doodles, which lends itself to a degree of honesty. Some of his paintings serious and reflect current events, like Nappy-Headed Host. Others works are light hearted and funny, like Frank The Weiner (my personal favorite) and Family Tree.
I’m not sure how serious of an artist he is (his bio isn’t available on hsi website, and I think that’s a really important detail to leave out!), as some of his work seems scattered and run of the mill, but he’s putting it out there, and that’s worth something. He’s compelled by his art, and that’s what counts.
Check him out, he may be your thing.
