With the help of some friends, I have compiled a roster of talented artists to contribute to a weekly sketch jam by invitation only. Every week or so we will settle on an idea and will each take a stab at illustrating the concept. The level of completion can be anything from a rough sketch to a finished rendering. This blog is intended, for those who are involved, to be an opportunity to challenge one another, to challenge ourselves, and to connect with our contemporaries in the field.

A huge talent… A former San Diego Charger, Barnes was christened "Big Rembrandt" by his teammates. He was a master of gesture and emotion which can be seen in classics like "Sugar Shack," the title painting for the 70's sitcom "Good Times."
Apparently, he never painted his subjects with their eyes open. “We don't see each other," he was quoted explaining "we are blind to each other's humanity."
He was 70 years old.
