A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST
"Illustrator Jimmy" pens incredible champ quartet art
A bit of idle doodling while watching the webcast has turned into a burgeoning gallery celebrating barbershop quartet champions.
Jimmy Trapp tells his story:
Last July, just for the fun of it, I put together an illustration for the 2015 International Barbershop Quartet Champions, Instant Classic.I posted it to Facebook and before I knew it, my feed was blowing up! My fellow Barbershoppers loved it and asked me to do more quartet art. So I went down the line - drawing up illustrations that I felt best represented each quartet champion.
