I would like that since I do not have all the Skunkworks collection. Jim's loss is a great blow to those who knew and loved him, although I never met him personally I liked his work a lot. So sad...

I've been sitting around thinking of a way to keep Jim's work alive
for as long as we can, and freely share it with others. I know we have
the group here, and I do not want to draw people away from that. But
being as the group is owned and run by Yahoo Inc, I fear that some day
it may not be around.
With that thought in mind, my next idea would turn to Torrents. I
know, a lot of people see "Torrents" and think of illegal software,
but that is not necessarily the function of torrents. It's merely a
peer-to-peer technology where people help share things with others.
What I was thinking, is possibly compiling as much Jim Hardiman
artwork as I can possibly get my paws on in to one big folder,
(including a lot of fan art), organize it in to a few sub-folders and
then make a .torrent of it and share it online. That way those of us
that want to can help seed it and keep it alive, and then everyone can
have free and open access to all of Jim's art for as long as people
keep seeding it.
I do think there are enough people (Likely hundreds) that enjoy Jim's
work and legacy that we could keep it alive for a long time. Right
now, it is just an idea and I have not put a lot of work into it yet.
So I'm posting this to sort of gauge if this is something that folks
think would be a good idea and if I should go through with it.
