Artist Statement: 

Jamie is a strange creature working primarily in comics and illustrations that reflect his lived experiences as a neurodiverse, transmasc, and queer person. They enjoy working with gouache, risograph printing, and dip pen and ink. To understand themself, to comfort their past self, and to survive in the present are what drive Jamie to create. His work has become an archive of his transition, a live feed of a transformation.

- Project Statement: 

My previous discomfort with my own viscera has morphed into fascination. I want to step outside of myself and observe my physical form under a microscope. Take note of each new change. I can feel it. In my skin, my bones, every sinew, each nerve. My attempts to feel at home in this shell will not be futile.
