@@danielledavison4993 They are from Michael’s craft store! If you go to Michaels.com and type in “spooky portrait stickers” they should come up. They’re from the Michael’s brand “Recollections.”

@@JaimeLeighArt thx!

Thank you, I am really happy with how it came out. And Duke is the best 😊

@@joske5216 The lightbox in the video is a bit older (around 2019 maybe?) So no, it does not connect to the internet. I think there are some more updated ones now that let you connect to your computer with a USB cable, but I don’t know if the newer ones let you connect to the internet.

@@creativesolutionstoart isn’t Mucha great? I just love the style, and I also found his life fascinating. A lightbox is such a useful tool to have. You can get a decent one for a reasonable price and there are so many things you can do with one. If you have an eye issue it might be worth it to pick one up to see if it helps. I have several videos on my channel going through different ways to use the lightbox as well.

@@creativesolutionstoart Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy trying this technique out because I think you’ll find it makes using gouache a lot more fun. 🤩

Also, if you want to try the painting I did there’s a link to the reference image in the description box!

@@JaimeLeighArt OK, thank you yeah, that was a nice photo reference… And I will be trying this out today! I know most illustrators were using paper/illustration board, and I most likely will not be doing this on canvas so we will see how it holds up on watercolor paper :-)

@@creativesolutionstoart good luck! I’ve only ever used canvas so I would be interested how the watercolor paper does!

@@JaimeLeighArt I will come back and let you know if it is successful! :-)

@@leemcgruer8349 I’m so glad to hear it was helpful for you! If you have any questions or want me to cover anything specific in an upcoming video, please let me know. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, I have seen a similar technique like this done with oils, too. I hope you give it a try, I think you'll find it fun and you can get as loose and free - or as detailed - as you want to with this way of doing gouache. I have seen some gouache illustrators do sunlight through leaves with this technique and it's mind blowing! I also left a link to my reference photo in the description if you want to do the painting in this video. Have a great day!

Yes, a lot of scholars attribute "first" status to Hilma, and it's fascinating that Georgiana worked so hard and was lost in the shuffle. Not that Hilma's accomplishments were any less, of course, both women were important for what they contributed!

@@JaimeLeighArt I have a book called Hilma - Artist Researcher Medium, published by Moderna Musset, and Georgiana is mentioned in it.

So glad to hear this was helpful to you! Thanks for watching 😊

I’m so glad it was helpful. Georgiana was a fascinating person! Thanks for watching.

It surprised me how little known this story was! FLW was an amazing architect but his personal life was a train wreck. Thanks for watching!

Hello, I purchased this lightbox at Hobby Lobby. This one is from the brand Artograph LightTracer and I believe it is available from Joann Fabric and Walmart also.

That’s so interesting. . . you must know way more about all this than I do!

Unfortunately

Thank you so much for your comment! This is such a fascinating story and I wish it was more well-known.

That’s great! Good luck on your drawing of your dog and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

That’s great! Good luck with your drawing and let me know if you have any questions I didn’t answer in the video!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. I’m not sure about the sound - I have a good external microphone but I will check into the issue so it doesn’t keep happening.

@@JaimeLeighArtUse a clip on or lavalier mic. Or bring your mic a lot closer. It sounds like you were too far away. I’m a sound engineer.

@@nigel544 thank you for the suggestions. I currently use a Rhode microphone attached to my filming camera so I will experiment with some different options

Sorry for the confusion, the Flatiron Building was originally called the Fuller Building so I thought they were connected. My mistake! Sorry about that.

@@JaimeLeighArt Ironically, I was sitting in the park next to the the Flatiron on 23st and Fifth Ave when I started watching this video.

To my understanding, they didn't really look too hard for that type of evidence? Allegedly, they did have evidence that Crispo was at the Legeros house the night Vesti died, so why wouldn't they use that evidence? Goodness only knows...

I actually came across similar stories to this when I was researching. People were either very put off by interacting with him or very charmed. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the clarification. I apologize for my bad American pronunciation! 😂 I would love to visit the Dulwich someday.

Honestly I’m surprised that there isn’t a movie made about this story too! Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There was a lot of conflicting source information about this story. I think it relates to how sensationalized it was at the time.

The flat iron building was originally referred to as the Fuller building when it was built in the early 1900s because the client was the Fuller Construction Company.

@@JaimeLeighArtBe that as it may, Andrew Crispo's gallery was at the Fuller Building at 41 E. 57th Street.

Yeah I thought the two were connected- my mistake!

Honestly, this case is so frustrating to me because it wasn't investigated very well, and I just wonder if more answers could have been brought to light if it had been. There are just several scenarios that make sense, and with Carl unable to fully articulate what happened that night, all we have is speculation. This is one of those cases that stays with me, because if it was truly an accident, it ruined 2 peoples' lives.

@@JaimeLeighArt wholeheartedly agree.

I had also wondered while looking over the information on this case How many other men disappeared who didn't have their disappearance go nationwide? From what it seemed like, the scene was pretty dangerous, and people didn't seem overly interested in young men going missing around these clubs - this one only blew up because the person involved was slightly famous. As for not being charged, the police seemed to have their reasons but I don't think all of them were aboveboard, if that makes sense. You might see what I mean when you get to that section of Bag of Toys. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of the video, and thank you for the compliments. I am a stickler for researching and trying to present the most accurate story I can with the information I am given. If you would like to stick with NYC as a setting, I did a two-part video about the death of Ana Mendieta in the same time frame as this one - 1985 in NYC. The accused - artist Carl Andre, her husband, just passed in January of this year so sad to say the real reason for her death may remain a mystery. Sadly, our little puppy's health issues were too overwhelming for her little body, but we are so happy we got to take care of her during her time here on Earth. I send my sympathy about your Loki, it sounds like she had a wonderful life. We went through something similar when our Boxer that we'd had for 9 years passed away in 2021. It's been over 2 years and we are still heartbroken. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your comments and feedback. Have a wonderful day!

@JaimeLeighArt I will !! ...and yes, as I continue to dive into Bag Of Toys, I will certainly consider what you have mentioned. I'm sorry about your little special friend, know that the tiny pup lives within your hearts forever ♥️

Thanks for checking out the video, I hope you enjoy watching the rest of it. It’s a wild story and really speaks to the time and place the events took place. I really felt like Eigil was just a naive kid who got caught up in the scene and it took over his life. I wonder if your friend had the same impression of him? Bag of Toys is well researched and packed full of details, I just thought the timeline was very helter skelter! Made it hard to keep track of everything, but definitely worth the read. I will check out Cruising, I have never seen it.

@JaimeLeighArt Cruising is a murder mystery based in the West Village, and it is based on the book of the same title, which is based on I believe actual murders which were occurring during that time period, which would be 1960s. Cruising takes place in or around 1980. Many of the club scenes were filmed in the Hellfire club, and it is interesting in that it captured a time in NYC that no longer exists today, or since the mid 80s for that matter, late 80s for sure. Many of the actors as far as the detectives go were infact the actual members of the NYPD assigned to the actual cases, so from a historical document to me, it's a very important film. I'd be very curious as to what you think of it. Not sure how you will screen it, but there's no less than 3 or 4 versions out there, with my favorite being the original big box FOX video tape, that's as close to the original as possible. The first DVD is good, and I know there is a new version also on blu-ray. I'm told the Japanese Lazer disk is the wildest version of all, and the one format I am still on the look out for. I'm astonished that I never went in the Hellfire Club, as it intrigued me very much what that scene was all about, but I used to enjoy walking around that area at night during 1985 or so, and strangely enough always felt very safe there for reasons I cannot explain. I definitely look forwards to finish watching your video tomorrow morning, and am very happy I discovered your channel here.

Actually, that is inaccurate- I was taught by an artist who worked at an advertising agency for 30 years as an illustrator and he and most other illustrators used tracing daily. Artists throughout history have traced also, including Picasso, Degas, Andy Warhol and Leonardo da Vinci. Tracing is a valuable skill and learning tool for beginning artists, as well as a time saver for professionals who work to deadlines. Now, tracing someone else’s work and selling it as one’s own is unethical and wrong, but that’s not what this video showcases. This is me using a lightbox to trace a photo I took myself. Clearly, we can agree to disagree on this, but on my channel I support art in all its forms and strongly disagree that there is only one way to be a “real artist.” Have a good day.

As far as I can tell, he still lives in New York City and opened a new version of the Andrew Crispo Gallery which appears to still be in operation. He went through bankruptcy court in the 90’s and sold many paintings in his private collection to pay back the people he owed.

He died 3 weeks ago from the complications from a brain operation
