My name is Jamie and I’ve been streaming live art and games since 2013.
I share some of my art process here on Twitch and hope to inspire others to look inward and express themselves creatively.
When I make art away from streaming on Twitch, I share it on my Patreon. There you can find a more in-depth look at my process, high quality scans, time-lapse videos, commentary, and sketchbook stuff.
Where are you from? Houston, TX born and raised now based in Southern CA.
What is your ethnicity? Vietnamese and White.
How old are you? I'm a 97,000,000 year old vampire.
Why do you wear a glove? I have a chronic skin condition called dyshidrotic eczema that flares up on my hands/fingertips. The glove allows me to have medicine on while protecting my skin, the drawing, and tools. I use a loose sheet of paper to place over areas my hand is resting on to further protect the drawing and prevent smudging.
Do you only work with graphite? No, I also paint and sculpt. My main focus right now is graphite because I like it a lot.
What camera do you use? A Sony HDR-CX 190 camcorder connected to an Elgato HD 60 external capture card for art. Logitech c920 for facecam.
What microphone do you use? Electro-Voice RE320 connected to a Yamaha MG10XU mixer.
What games do you play? Valorant, League of Legends, Spelunky, PUBG, and more.
Did you go to art school? No, I could never afford it. I'm grateful to have the Internet and books for self-studying. Always learning.
How do you make your prints? I use an Epson Artisan 1430 with a CIS and Printer Potty connected to it. I print on Velvet Fine Art Paper.
Do you use mechanical pencils or wooden pencils? I like using both. Mechanicals are great because I don't have to keep sharpening them. Wood pencils are versatile for texture.
