Much of Sykes’ training was derived by acting as an apprentice-type assistant to experienced artists such as the painter Wayman Adams, the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, and the fine art lithographer George Miller.
Sykes was temporarily hired by Auburn in 1942 to replace faculty who had been called up for military service.
Professor Sykes learned the basics of the traditional lithography process from George Miller, a particularly skillful lithographic printer who worked in New Jersey while Sykes was a student of Wayman Adams in Elizabethtown between 1934 and 1935.

Stimulated by the example of her parents, Sykes developed an interest in art during her childhood, honing her skills as a draftsman in art classes at school by drawing flowers, trees and other natural forms.
Sykes is believed to have studied at the museum school until her marriage to Gerritt Sykes in 1882.
Following her nuptials, Sykes and her husband moved to Cincinnati, at that time a flourishing cultural center dubbed the “Queen City of the West.” While Gerritt and a friend established the Franklin School for boys, Sykes continued to follow her artistic inclinations.

Sykes, who graduated from Princeton in 1950, and studied in diverse places such as San Miguel de Allende in Mexico and the Art Institute of Chicago has a long dual career in art as well as impressive academic credentials as a professor of sociology.

 Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine: Roosevelt Sykes: Chicago Boogie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Roosevelt "The Honey Dripper" Sykes and his rocking St. Louis blues piano stylings consistently captivated the record buying public from the late 1920s, when he began recording widely (often under aliases), until shortly before his death in 1983.
The eleven sides from the 1950s are all Sykes originals and range from a swaggering reprise of his 1936 hit "Drivin' Wheel" and two versions of the X-rated "Rock It" to the gustatory delights-referenced, easy rocking "Green Onion Top" and a pair of rip-roaring boogies.
Sykes' transitional influence on fellow urban blues pianists such as Memphis Slim, Otis Spann, Sunnyland Slim and Fats Domino is frequently overlooked.

 Martial Arts Illustrated Interview with Wing Chun Kung Fu Master James Sinclair
I understand the security afforded by history and a sense of family and identity, but why people want to go back in time and do something that was less refined than that available now can only be compared to classic car enthusiasts.
Tradition has a very important role in martial art and is significant in the history and identity of all the great systems, but development is always possible on top of this.
The main reason why the Chinese have excelled in martial arts is because up until recently it was a fully closed door.

Sykes calls for a "moratorium on blame" and a return to the acceptance of personal responsibility for one's actions along with stiff penalties for criminal behavior.
He blames much of the sentimentalism of the 1960s--which extends to today with persons claiming, for example, that the US is in pursuit of the alleged culprit of the September 11 hijacking "because of the color of his skin"--on Rousseau and the Romanticists.
In reasoning not unlike Sykes', I've concluded that much of today's "left" consists predominantly of white persons either talking with each other of how wonderful they are, of how victimized they are, or both.
