James J. Barnett
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Information architect turned painter, Barnett gets his inspiration from video game environments. I have to admit my initial reaction…
was somewhat dismissive. However, I finally decided to write a post because of how this work reflects the times. Video games aren’t just for kids, not really for a while now (Before the holidays I found myself clueless, as I suspect my parents once were, searching out a Nintendo DS game for my mom). Beyond the pleasant appearance of some of Barnett’s work, where he gets his inspiration from calls attention to the kind of ‘landscape’ we’ve been spending time with these days. I look forward to seeing if he expands on this idea in the future.
He was mentioned on good.is recently, check out that article here. Or, his website here.
