My Ringling Illustration Senior Thesis (Showcase Video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Hello all. This is a very special video to me because I am capturing the essence of my fourth year illustration thesis book "More Than Just Mushrooms" by doing a video showcase! For those who don't know: at Ringling College, illustration majors start on a body of work in their senior year, which can be about anything, so long as it is displayed at the end in the form of a book. I discovered fungi and foraging in my third year and it completely changed my life, so I wanted to put my heart and soul into an educational botanical book about mushrooms. All the illustrations are done traditionally first, with watercolor and colored pencils. I then pulled them in and arranged them digitally, adding hand-lettering, body text and doing illustrative touch-ups.
Since our senior show (where we normally would showcase these books) got cancelled due to covid-19, we will be having an online gallery that opens Thursday May 7 at 4 PM EST. View it here: issuu.com/jami... . It is there that you will be able to see my entire book, and "flip" through the pages yourself, at your own pace! I wanted to have something special of my own to show people my book, which is why I created this video.
A frequently asked question is: Can I buy the book? Unfortunately, not yet. Unless I order them in bulk, the price point is around $80 per book for me to produce, and I don't think I could make any money off of that--in fact it would seriously put me in the hole LOL. I have spoken with a publisher who wanted to produce this book, but longer, however that fell through due to us not agreeing on a price. I would love to publish this, or some version of it so you may have one of your own someday. For now, that's in the future. Now, on to the next thing!
0000: This
is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen if not the most beautiful
Now this may be one of the highest praises, if not THE highest praise.

So exciting to see at time 4:05 the picture you created in your time lapsed video! Loved watching both your thesis and video along with the harp music. Lovely!
Wow Jamie, this thesis is so so beautiful! I definitely feel inspired to become obsessed with what I’m interested in now :) Thank you for sharing. It’s super clear how much work went into this. I was also so impressed by the photo shoot parts of the book, and how you used the mushrooms with ‘actual’ people inspired in their looks. Great job! :)
Your book is beautiful. I enjoyed the lighting and sounds in your video as well. Best wishes as you start your next adventures!
I hope this is published. I would love to have a copy. You are so incredibly talented and creative in so many ways. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments!
Your book is absolutely enchanting! Would love to have a copy if you publish it, your work is inspiring!
This book is so beautiful, my grandmother told me about how her and her father would go out and pick mushrooms for breakfast in the 1940s. Mushrooms always feel so comforting to me for some reason and your book makes me feel the same way !
So freaking cool, that's the life i am trying to live now! How wonderful.
Wow this book is beautiful. I did an illustrated book for my senior project, but we only have 10 weeks to do it(thanks SCAD). Wish I could've taken more time and I'd like to publish it as well!
This book is so beautiful, I am hoping that you will publish it someday, I would definitely want to own it. And the video is amazing
i love it so much jamie!!
I've been following you for a few years now and its been so lovely to see your evolution as an artist! I'm so proud of what you've achieved and I'm so excited to see the next stage of your career
I really hope you get a chance to publish this book someday, its beautiful. I think it would be gorgeous on a semi-matte paper.
Its wonderfull ♥️
Thanks for the video!
You're definitely right about it not being easy. Thank you so much! I am proud, even if the circumstances made the outcome a little different than we all expected.
Please publish this!
This is beautiful! Will this ever be available to buy? I want it so bad 🥺
Wow this video was so beautiful and showcased the book perfectly
If I could like this video 1000 times, I would. I connect so much with it all. Well done Jamie, it's so apparent that you put so much heart and soul into this project
i hope i don’t look or sound ridiculous, but ur book turned out so beautiful to the point where i ended the video with tears in my eyes
Hey, that means the world to me.
The book looks amazing Jamie! I remember reading your post on instagram about the cancellation of the senior ceremony and all the exhibition stuff and I was close to tears :( I am an art and design student too and I know how amazing and exciting those events are so I was completely heartbroken. But I've just been wandering around the Ringling virtual galleries and it looks amazing! You can see how hard everyone worked and it's just so beautiful. I'm sure you'll do great things in your art future and I'll keep on getting inspired by you!
Gosh I'm just enamored, this is so beautiful and inspiring!!
Warm regards
