Rare alumni Brett Jones, who worked as an artist on the classic 1997 video game GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64, sadly passed away earlier this week. Jones worked at Rare for a total of eight years, from 1994 to 2002. Aside from GoldenEye 007, Jones also contributed to the 2000 first-person shooter Perfect Dark.
Jones had a hand in recreating some of James Bond's most iconic outfits for GoldenEye 007 and played a pivotal role in designing Joanna Dark, a federal secret agent and the protagonist of Perfect Dark. After leaving Rare in 2004, Jones would go on to flourish as a VFX artist for blockbuster movies such as Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Fast & Furious 6, The Last Jedi, and the Fantastic Beasts sequel, as well as TV shows like Doctor Who.
Following Jones' passing, family and friends have organized a crowdfunding campaign to fund an art exhibition of Jones' work that will take place at Atkins Gallery in Leicestershire, UK.
