There was only a death notice in the Lansing State Journal.  However, on November 6 the Journal published an article about Gary and his considerable talent.

Lansing artist Gary Glenn, known for his murals, remembered for commitment to art

Nov. 6, 2013

Gary Glenn loved art from an early age.

“Ever since (Gary) could hold a pencil,” his brother, Danny Glenn said.

The local artist and business owner known for his murals and custom art motorcycle and car work died Oct. 29.

Glenn, 72, who owned Artrageous Studios in Lansing, lived in California for several years. He painted racing stripes on actor Paul Newman’s race car, detailed motorcycles used in the movie “Rocky III” and painted the red-and-white decoration onto a car used in a video for the Go-Gos rock group.

His longtime friend Jerry Sawyers said he was doing some of his best work when he died.

“He had lived more of a life in 72 years than most lived in 100,” Sawyers, said.

“He did everything he wanted to do.”

Some of the Lansing Eastern High School graduate’s mural art can be seen on a side garage at Deluca’s Restaurant and Pizzeria and at South Church on Cornerstone Drive in the children’s wing.

Glenn, described as charismatic by friends and family, turned down a design job at General Motors Co. when he was 22 to keep his budding art business.

“I turned them down because I was making more money working on the cars and motorcycles of my friends in my driveway than I could ever make at GM,” he told the State Journal in a 2006 interview.

Danny Glenn said his brother enjoyed going to drag races and car shows and always had a story to tell.

Glenn’s prized 1962 Lincoln Continental won some 300 trophies at car shows and a Goodguys best paint award in 2010.
