Jaymyccah is a very talented artist- and Photographer- who I recently discovered on DeviantART.com. He is very inspiring to me, both personally and artistically. Jay's art is something that I can relate to not with my eyes but with my heart. The sadness, the joy, the passion shown in these photos makes it hard not to be able to say; "I know what that's like." Today, I will be reviewing a few of Jay's pieces, tell you what I love about them and then let you have a taste of the image. I hope you enjoy!

This first piece is called "Vanilla Twilight". The image is of Jay, and two of his friends. The woman, and I beleive the adorable little rabbit. In the image, The pair are listening to the song 'Vanilla Twilight' by Owl City. Personally, this song and image tie in together so perfectly it is almost magical. The use of soft, clean lines makes the piece look simple and very elegant, letting the figures fall into place and be the focus of attention. This is- as I actually just discovered- of Jay and his girlfriend! The two look very close, and as I just discovered their favourite song is 'Vanilla Twilight'.
My favourite part of this whole piece is of the clean, simplistic lines that really help to pull it all together. Also, the rabbit. If it was not sitting there... Well, too me the image just wouldn't look right, almost off balance.

Our next image is called "Smile For Me Love". This piece blew me away when I first saw the art. Everything was just beautiful. From the eyes, to the hair, to the clothing and patterns... Everything was stunning. As I look more, I see not only Jay and his girlfriend by me and my boyfriend. I am always am taking photographs, and usually of my love, James.
This image I can really relate to, even taking an image with what looks to me like a Pentax film camera. The funny thing is that I am blonde, and he has brown hair like in the image. This piece really does inspire me to get off my butt and go take some photographs. :)

This image makes me think of last summer in 2010. I was at the cottage for two-week intervals, and though I love it there I have learned that I can only take three days with my sister before going insane. So, three days.... And add eleven days more. By the middle of week two I was highly irritable, and stayed inside listening to music and crying, wanting to go home to see my friends or the guy I liked (now my boyfriend :D) if even for a day.
As this piece is titled, 'Stop The Rain', I felt the same way. I wanted to be able to go outside and have fun and play. But not only was I feeling like crud but also my eyes were horrendously sensitive to sunlight- and still are. I wanted to rain to go and clouds to stay!
This is my favourite piece by Jay. Though it is simplistic, the image of the man sobbing holds so much powerful emotion. "You also almost never see a man cry, as it would ruin their manly image" as a friend told me once. But with this image you know the man is hurt. You know he is upset and looks almost like his heart was ripped out of him. Well, that's what his face says to me.
I am in love with jaymyccah's artwork, and I hope now you are too.
