Hello, my name is Jamie, I do art, “how to” videos, crafts, fun silly things, and random stuff.
I love Disney, Studio Ghibli, Nintendo, Mario, visiting fun places, my chinchillas, Da Vinci, fine art, laughing at modern art, and Merlin
Also I’m married but still a massive child :’) and that’s okay

[@missdamzlroost]

I would love to see you figure skate! You should do a video

[@ItsDaisySofia]

Yes please!

[@twinsauce]

YES PLEASE!

[@kombuchaaaa]

yeeeessss!!!

[@r.darling4135]

++++++++++++

[@AliceBunny]

YES! :D

[@JamieJo]

Haha, okay, I changed the title because lots of people had an issue with it :') That being said, "learnt" was grammatically correct. Though it is more commonly used in British English than American English. I was just being more British than American that day ^__^

[@zbuy5710]

You don't have to justify yourself for changing the name of your video! People shouldn't have a problem with it in the first place :) I study art at University and I am a Disney enthusiast, needless to say I absolutely love your videos - Please never stop doing them X

[@cass__6840]

BananaJamana where do you watch your anime because I also just started to watch yuri and on episode 3 but I don't know where to find the rest of the episodes

[@madhatter4707]

please paint yuri on ice PLEASE OR ANYTHING YURI ON ICE IN ART FORM LIK EVEN CUPCAKES MAYBE LIKE PLEASE I AM ON MY KNEES I AM BEGGING YOU

[@alc7101]

I think you should change the title back :) if anything, it'll educate more people on international differences.

[@trixielove]

yuri on ice painting??? maybe? PLEASE

if you have any of your old high school art with you, would you make a video showing it? :D I love seeing peoples old art, I find it inspiring seeing where they first began!

[@haikall5479]

rosie x yeah

[@TaraLeee]

ahh i wanna see you figure skate now! :D

[@Cwnzl]

TaraLee me too

[@extendedlimits]

TaraLee Yes! Video of Jamie figure skating!!

[@Lifes1BeautifulRide]

This video brought tears to my eyes. You've obviously been through a lot emotionally and it's so awesome to see what a positive life long impact teachers can have in the life of a child who is struggling

[@SimplyLotusGifts]

I wish I'd studied art in school. I made the mistake of choosing subjects I thought I "needed" as opposed to subjects I loved *sigh*

[@Vinaluv]

Ok, Here ya'll go...Learned vs. learnt Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned. In the U.S. and Canada, meanwhile, learnt appears only once for approximately every 500 instances of learned, and it’s generally considered colloquial.

[@scarjon1354]

Vinaluv Thank you for nerding out on it. Is appreciated

[@jlqndyntny]

This just shows how important good teachers are!! I'm so glad you had inspiring art teachers in high school who encouraged you. I hope they know how far you've gone in your art x

[@Jess-zn4iy]

Your fangirling is killing me. So cute. XD I so glad you didn't quite art. You are one of the most inspirational artists I've found.

[@lancmac]

You are always so cheery... dont ever loose that smile and feel of wonderment

[@savannahc2168]

You are a really fun KZbinr to watch. Your peppy attitude brightens my day. I love that when I have a bad day I can just rewatch one of your videos and feel better. Thank you for the happiness you share with all your viewers.

[@Hey_Jamie]

ummmmm PREGNANCY COURSE?! WUT EVEN?! lol!

[@Aleeviia]

REALLY! Is that even a thing?

[@JP-fr2ns]

Hey Jamie yes it is a thing lol but it's called something else I'm not sure what is called though but we had it in my high school

[@smiley1234541]

We had something like that in high school too. It was called child development but it was basically the same stuff. We even watched videos of childbirth in class lol. I actually loved it. That stuff is so interesting to me. And I loved carrying around my little flour baby lol.

[@luzcortez6436]

Yeah we have two classes like that in my school they are called family studies or human growth and development

[@apology89]

Took that class despite having a Y chromosome. I thought it was interesting, my teacher showed us the movies For Keeps and Juno as two different examples of families

[@semoremo9548]

It's good watching people that paint really good like you and that did not started to paint till they were older because I always see artists that are like "I've been drawing since I was 6" and that somehow discouraged me because I want to start and get better at drawing and painting and I'm going to start my freshman year!

[@audraspradlin]

I am currently in my last semester of internship to be an art teacher and hearing you talk about how much you loved your high school art teachers and the safe space they gave you makes me happy! :) That's how I felt in high school too and I wanted to continue the experience. I love your videos!

[@h3c0x]

You're so lucky to have had such a lovely art teacher. My art teacher constantly puts us down, saying that the other class is so much more advanced than we are, that we don't put any effort in whatsoever and that there's no point.

[@lizettenava3721]

OMG YURI ON ICE IS MY FAVORITE ANIME!!!!!!!!!!

[@karicollins132]

LizetteWeirdKid your picture is beautiful YES

[@sweetheartedgames8770]

your artwork is so insanely good, sometimes its nice to know that you had a starting point too and you aren't a robot!! seriously though, I love your videos, they make me smile

[@SarahLouiseSheehy]

This is honestly my favourite channel on KZbin. ❤️❤️❤️ I love art and figure skating and YOI and you are such a nice person and fun to watch. You are so talented.

[@rhynac2862]

You're so cheerful and energetic! You're seriously passionate about what you're doing and, unlike those who are aggressive and excessively (force-fit kind of) passionate, you express passion in a way that just makes me calm and inspired! You must have magic haha

[@amyrobinson3224]

So cute. Just finished my night time tree scene painting and I was inspired because of how perky and fun you make art sound thank you.

[@GD-ex6cr]

I completely understand what you said about your art teachers being your saviours, mine are so lovely and inspiring too I wouldnt be this captivated by art if I didnt have them

[@sepiastarfire9769]

You've been such an inspiration to me, every video you make brightens my day and every word you speak fills me with happiness. Corny, yes I know but it's all true! I now use my old year 7 sketchpad which has a ton of spare pages in it to draw everyday, all because of you! I draw anywhere and everywhere, at the beach sitting on the sand, in the park, at home, in the middle of an outdoor plaza, even while standing in the middle of the ocean. I draw mainly cartoon characters and animations, but with hope and inspiration provided by you, I really hope I can get better! You're an amazing girl with an amazing talent and I love you so much ♡

[@komaiihua]

I HEARD YURI ON ICE I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY MY FANDOM

[@GioiaFede]

i honestly clicked on this video because i was blown away by your "shirt" in the thumbnail and i was hoping for you to tell me where to get an identical one!!!...lol, no, seriously, i adore you and your vids. cheers from italy

[@MomoMiya]

I'm so glad I watched this video! My life might not me so dramatic and interesting yet, but art is one thing that I really like doing. And similarly to your story, I'm currently going through some high school fine arts courses. And...yeah! It really does help to have really encouraging teachers helping me every step of the way.

[@garyc]

The cupcakes were amazing! x

[@minnie6598]

When you have such a good connection with specific teachers it helps so much.

[@lexiconlover]

I always took art as elective but the teachers (grade school &college) were always controlling. My high school art teacher was the only one that let me be myself. Loved her!

[@farijuanah]

I love watching your videos, your smile is contagious❤️

[@hippiehappy7478]

Never change for anyone. You are the sweetest and most realist person on KZbin. I am 26 years old and I love watching your Videos :) Keep up the amazing vids lovely x

[@blindedink4108]

You're adorable. "I was like-eh, nope!" My saviors in school were an art teacher I had for art club in high school and an English teacher in college. They were both strict, organized people who pushed me to do my best and actually believed I could be something. It meant everything to me and are the reason I write and draw. Nice to know there are other people out there. Off to best fiends video!

[@kirstydepaor547]

I've taken up sorting because I always wanted to do it, but we never lived near any ice skating rinks. Now I'm grown and living on my own, I'm taking lessons and I love it so much.

[@marisela138]

I'd been wondering this so I loved the video. I took painting as my one extra college course as I finished my psychology major. it's awesome how things like that can change what happens in our lives. I'm glad it worked out that way for you.

[@madzc8330]

I have never liked art but god I love you and your channel so much. You're so amazing to watch, and your energy is just so bubbly, warm and positive. You're so talented and I love your work so much. Thank you for being you!!!

[@katelynturner5046]

My high school never offered art classes but I've always had an interest in art. I'm currently in college to get my BFA and eventually go to grad school to become a fine artist. It's a great program!

[@roseg9103]

Yuri on Ice is great! I love figure skating, I'm so glad there's such a nice anime about figure skating out there :)

[@TheCharleyparley]

I've never seen a video where an artist has said that they started off without some natural talent for art! Your work is amazing and to know that you used to skip art because you thought you were bad has honestly given me hope that I might get better. Also I had no idea you could figure skate! (it explains your graceful floatiness though) xxx

[@ITSMEFARIHAH]

I have been a subscriber for awhile and most of the time I don't have time to leave a comment but Jamie you're just a cool person. I hope I can meet u one day in person. In my opinion ur one of the real and honest person I've seen on KZbin. you're so relatable and do what you like doing and aren't extra. I appreciate you and the effort you put into ur videos

[@annakathryn1690]

I love your videos! You have such a likable personality. I caught myself several times with a big goofy grin on my face :P Thanks for all the love you pour into your videos!

[@lottielovegood]

Yuri on Ice is literally my life. It's such a good anime ahhh I loved it so much. I do hope there's a second season.

[@ellimaanpaa]

Love that red figure skating dress. I used to always wear my sister's old dresses on ice when I skated as a kid. But they were pretty too :)

[@floragrace9712]

I am in awe of your painting and general arty skills!! I couldn't imagine you not painting! Your art teachers sound amazing!!!😊😊 love from Scotland 💕💕

[@vintageteacups4304]

I stopped doing art because I felt I wasn't good enough, you reminded me that I don't want to be the best, but I enjoy the feeling of relaxation drawing gives me 😊

[@Storiesandvideos657]

Hehe from Canada and I'm pretty sure we simultaneously use both learned and learnt. It was so nice of you to change it for the people who didn't like it.

[@reaganlewis4274]

I recently just started painting, beginning with some starter Pokémon. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have ever even tried it. I'm already proud of myself, and I'm excited to experiment with a new hobby. Thanks! ^__^

[@lucydupont8120]

awww I love figure skating too! Best sport ever.. and drawing and painting...🎨 You're such an inspiration, 'cause you're always kind and friendly and I really adore that. I hope all your friends and family appreciate what they have, 'cause you're a wonderful human-being!

[@andreamoreno9044]

My ten year old daughter wants to learn how to paint... we love to craft with clay and resin.... I'm so blessed she loves arts and crafts like her mommy!!! I love your videos and paintings!!! Hopefully I can find her a class in my area so she can get her paint on!!!! lol

[@lilamybigworld]

I was really glad when I heard about your art story ^.^ i heard so many other amazing artists that said they had been drawing literally all their life, I was really discouraged by this because I just stared high school and I've just gotten really into art in the past year and I was worried I wasn't going to be a very good artist or something... thank you for sharing Jamie :))

[@helixdraws6348]

Yuri on ice was one of the best ANIMES I've ever watched, next to your lie in April. I love your art! I will DEFINATELY be challenging myself to a new project every week with my paintings.

[@galatea2526]

Your ice skating dress is so beautiful!! It was really nice to hear about your background in painting; I'm learning how to draw and you're a huge inspiration. :)

[@laurawilliams8753]

I think you are a fabulous person and you make wonderful videos. Your artwork inspired to take art in high school and I still pursue painting today. I don't often subscribe to channels on KZbin but you deserve so much credit and appreciation!!! Keep doing what your doing, I'll keep cheering you on!😍

[@oliviaadams1427]

You did a great job with the Vanellope painting and the cupcakes! I liked seeing how you made the cupcakes, it's a very creative and cool idea. As always, you are super awesome!

[@AndreaMGC]

Sometimes I can't even handle how adorable you are. I'm pretty sure you're a real life disney princess.

[@leilaniward7699]

Jamie I love you're art work so much, so inspire me to draw more my self (i like to draw) your positive spirit always makes me smile. ILYSM😘😘🎨

[@skatingcreative5999]

I am so excited to hear you are an ice skater :) I myself am an ice skater, in fact it is my job as iWork for Disney on Ice :) it is lovely to find someone else with the same passions as me (art, design, skating, design... youtube). thank you for your videos

[@caroline9014]

You're amazing at so many things it's incredible!!! You're just like a real life disney princess

[@megangore]

THAT'S SO CUTE. I didn't know you figure skated! I also love these talk based videos. You're awesome and adorable.

[@Sandy-he9uo]

ahhh youre so cool!! i also love art and figure skating and you are such goals! youre art is incredible and im so happy to hear about your art journey

[@TheSaraldo]

You talking about your teachers was precious

[@alsmith1810]

I love the background and your decoration on the wall. It's just so simple but cute!

[@almostcanadian9495]

I skate too! It's so much fun, I'm currently in lessons. I'm only a couple levels away from learning to do jumps and more complicated moves. I'm late to the sport, but hey, if Johnny Weir can start at 12, what's thirteen? He's my favorite skater anyways! I've been doing it for almost a year and I've gotten pretty far! I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to go far, I'm too passionate about it to quit. Also, Yuuri!!! On Ice is absolutely amazing and the animation in the earlier episodes was absolutely phenomenal. It's kind of difficult to focus on skating and acting and singing (I want to be an actor for musical theatre), but it's a really fun challenge. I love your channel, it really inspires me to do more art and to paint more often. I was kind of nervous to actually try to paint for a long time, but you help a lot. So thank you! My art has gotten so much better, and it's channels like these that help me do it!

[@ominoustomato]

Yuri on ice makes me so happy. I just rewatched and made my mom join me. I only finished it a few days ago, and continually zone out looking at fan art. If you did a big Victor painting, I think I'd cry

[@candeii2308]

I used to watch you a while ago !! Your voice is so much stronger omg ,,TT You grew so much ♡♡

[@Sonia-uy5bn]

I'm so happy to be supporting best fiends along with you. I got it after watching your cupcake video and it's my new favorite game, I know I'll be playing it for a looong time! Also I hope you really enjoy yuri on ice, I used to do rythmic gymnastics and all dance like sports bring me so much happiness! I love you and your videos so so much!!

[@re5yertyert111]

You are so beautiful and I love listening to you talk about your life. You inspired me to start a series of videos talking about my art as well. Since I have yet to do that.

[@sisideblanc2959]

I absolutely love your content. Because of your stained glass window painting, I was inspired to start a stained glass window paining of Stephen Amell as The Arrow. I haven't even started priming yet, but I did get the design down. My papa (dad) is also an artist, and he was the one who suggested I prime it with a darker color to cover up the white canvas in the first place. And I really hope it turns out well. Thank you for the inspiration. Much love! xx

[@Hedge_witch]

I did not know you skated, a woman of many secrets! You look beautiful :)

[@candicefaithv]

you just look so perfectly in your element wearing that figure skating dress!!

[@aduvenku7779]

Doing art is a huge part of my life, when I was a child, I was always drawing and doodling. When I was in ninth grade, I started doing O levels in art as a private candidate and western painting certificate. I also did my diploma in fine art and Bachelors.

[@WerewolfgirlSnakegirl]

I love your art work :3 and yes that's a good anime

[@urbffsteph]

I didn't know how much more I could be more obsessed with your personality\videos but you like YOI too!?!?!?! *mind blown*

[@angelinadubois4842]

My freshman art class is my therapy. It's just a studio of creativity. Thanks Ms.Pennell

[@livm4760]

I've been a subscriber for such a long time now, and I just love when you upload a new one! You have inspired me to carry on with my fine art course and become a better artist! Thankyou xx💜

[@LadyKnightEllen]

OH MY GOSH!!!! You figure skate, I do too! It's absolutely my favorite thing to do and I could tell from the thumbnail that you were wearing a skating dress and I got really excited!!!

[@oliviasnow6943]

Oh my goodness Jamie I've been waiting for this video for yearssss 💕💕 I've been subscribed to you for a long time! Hehe I even did the 5 facts about myself contest video you had a longgg time ago! And I'm so proud of your growth :D

[@sakura9400]

I'm surprised most people missed your Best Fiends video. Everyone go watch it, the cupcakes are so impressive and adorable, it's a really entertaining video! :)

[@sakurarose5027]

please do a skating video/ skating related q&a etc! love you and your videos xo

[@flippyhairproduction]

Your figure skating outfit is pretty adorable. And your reaction to the pregnancy course was priceless. :p

[@synnerlig]

I love watching your videos. You're so happy and positive and that means a lot to me, you're an inspiration. Thank you so much for helping me get through tough times just by being you 💕

[@trasua5764]

I am a teacher and I teach kids aged 3 to 7. :) It feels wonderful that you were inspired by one of your teachers back then. I hope I can also do the same and help my students do what they want to do in life as long as it's good for them. :)

[@beepear]

This was super fun to watch. And now I'm curious to see you figure skate. It's something that I wanted to do, but never had to opportunity to. Keep painting 😊

[@coprnicakiki]

I love your art projects and personality. Art saved me too, was introvert and through art I express my feelings so that the stress is easier to release and endure. High school was hard for me too, but art college gave me strength and I am happy now 😀 and I am a Ghibli fan so a Totoro cupcake would be awesome 🙂 love, Kiki

[@lucymziri1130]

jamie you are the cutest

[@aine6104]

oh my gosh, I'm a figure skater too! I never knew that about you! I love painting, and your art inspires me to always strive to become better at it, and always be improving upon my skills :)

[@angelicaraagas9102]

MY HEART JUMPED WHEN YOU SAID YURI ON ICE! IM SO HAPPY!!! Enjoy it! :DDD

[@millapaige6124]

You have inspired me to paint more and draw more thank you BananaJamana your my roll modle

[@01Yiyi]

Yessssh Jamie! Your part of the fandom now 😂😂

[@mieniese]

AHHHH!!! THE DRESS LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL ON YOU!!!

[@annas.archive]

I LOVED YURI ON ICE SO MUCH ITS SO GOOD!!!!! I'm also the same about not liking art cause I never actually tried so I thought I was terrible and took orchestra until I started getting into it in high school and then finally joined an art class there and now I love it!!

[@kimvu7671]

How are you so talented!! You were valedictorian, you're an amazing artist, you can play music, figure skate, your personality is so nice, and you're beautiful?? How can one person be so perfect????

[@sophiehilmy759]

IM SO PROUD THAT YOU ARE IN THE YURI ON ICE FANDOM I LOVE YOU.

[@CookieMonsterCataldi]

I'm 10 been doing art since I was born I keep doubting myself im good but I know deep inside im really not...so I stoped but watching you made me kinda want to start again.So just know all the people being rude and mean to her she's making a difference a good one so don't hate on her

[@imyourhopeimyourangel4049]

Omg! Yuri on Ice!!! is one of my favorite animes. It's also really cool that you used to figure skate! That just became something new I learned today!

[@tiacuppe6681]

I got into art in elementary school. My art teacher forced me to draw and love my art. My dad and my older cousin dabbled in art as well but they don't anymore. But I do and I consider art a love and hobby of mine.

[@di7209]

Coincidence i just came from watching YoI history maker and it fit in perfectly with your videos so well as well as fly away i loved it and hope you one day paint them.

[@natalieloves13]

Please make a video ice skating! I would love to see it, it's something I have never tried but find really fun to see (especially that one "ice princess" movie from 2005 lol)! ^_^

[@alyxezra]

i'm so happy to hear you're watching my favorite anime!! i do hope you do an art video based off of it when you're done :D it's so lovely and warm i love it so much

[@shyanashyshy]

I LOVE YURI ON ICE! YOU'RE SO LUCKY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE EPISODES LIKE I DID 😢
