Wonder Barr

George Barr is a wonder, his work traversing the universe. This royal study is prescient of Avatar, perhaps another race on Pandora.

Raise the Barr

I really like George Barr artwork. It has an expressive sense of wonder that is so important to making fantasy stories come to life. The beautiful elven encounter below works so well with its decorative border.

Stroll through Mr. Barr's website by clicking here.

And below, a tip of the hat to Lew Jaffe at bookplatejunkie.blogspot.com for sending over this nifty bookplate, quite some time ago, in response to a George Barr post.

For some reason I receive more comments emailed to me than posted to the blog, and I received a number of them requesting to see more of George Barr's illustrative work for Jack Vance's The Dying Earth, published by Underwood/Miller in 1976.

Well, OK then.
