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](https://www.patreon.com/visualjamie/)**. 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.
