In The Chair - Nathan Jones (aka Background Bob)
Introducing In The Chair: A New Series Where Art, Conversation, and Community Meet.
There’s something magical about the moments that happen in a barber’s chair. Stories unfold, ideas spark, and people open up in ways they rarely do elsewhere. That spirit is exactly what fuels In The Chair—a brand‑new video series filmed inside Heath Kane’s gallery, where creativity meets conversation under the gentle buzz of clippers. Each episode invites a special guest to take a seat for an honest, unfiltered chat while receiving a fresh trim from Wes of The Secret Society Barber. It’s intimate, warm, and refreshingly human—an environment where art and personal stories naturally intertwine.
The debut episode sets the tone beautifully by welcoming an extraordinary guest: Nathan Jones, the driving force behind the global art phenomenon Background Bob.
For anyone who’s followed the project, Background Bob is far more than a social media presence—it’s a movement built on creativity, collaboration, and community. What began as a simple idea blossomed into a worldwide initiative that brought together hundreds of artists, all inspired by Nathan’s son, Noah, whose joyful painted backgrounds became the canvas for countless artistic collaborations.

In The Chair isn’t just another interview series. It’s a space where people can be themselves—where conversations flow naturally, shaped by the environment and the intimacy of the moment. Filming inside an art gallery adds another layer of meaning: creativity isn’t just discussed, it’s lived.


With Nathan Jones as the first guest, the series begins with heart, purpose, and a powerful story of how art can bring people together in the most unexpected ways.
