Glen Baxter (artist)

Glen Baxter (born 4 March 1944) is an English draughtsman and artist, noted for his absurdist drawings and an overall effect often resembling literary nonsense.

His first solo exhibition was held at New York's Gotham Book Mart Gallery.

His images and their corresponding captions employ art and language inspired by pulp fiction and adventure comics with intellectual jokes and references.

His simple line-drawings often feature cowboys, gangsters, explorers and schoolchildren, who utter incongruous intellectual statements regarding art and philosophy.

[citation needed] In August 2014, Baxter was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue.
