Glenn Barnes

Creative Director, Artist, Manager

As a Creative professional in the video game industry, I specialize in
team building and leadership, top-level game design, Art direction &
Story development, and original IP product conception with a strong
understanding of market requirements
.

Based in Vancouver, BC, I made my start doing kids’ games for the now-
defunct Motion Works back in 1994.  After a subsequent 3 year stint at
Radical Entertainment, I co-founded Barking Dog Studios, where I
served as Art Director, sat on the board of Directors, and conceived
and pitched numerous original ip projects.  In 2002, Barking Dog was
acquired by Rockstar Games, and is now known as Rockstar Vancouver.

I remained at Rockstar for several years, serving as studio Art
Director, responsible for a large, multidisciplinary team of artists.
Nowadays, I run and co-owns Vancouver development studio called Big
Sandwich Games (www.bigsandwichgames.com).  At BSG, as we fondly refer
to it, I’ve built a crack team of industry vets and stunningly talented juniors.

I keep myself busy as President & Creative Director, overseeing the creative
side of development, pushing deals through and dreaming up the next best
thing in gaming.

Thanks for visiting!
