About me: I’m a highly driven and passionate artist and can't imagine life without it. I have had work in magazines, books, graphic novels, short films, galleries, etc. I have a website: JAMIESTREHLE.COM My days revolve around humor. I'm weird, but in an intuitive and inventive way :) If something makes sense to me I'm going to do it whether it looks crazy or not. I am exceptionally honest and open however I am not a jerk, I never give up and have strong opinions but I won't push them on you unless I have a problem with it. I'm quiet/shy but am very confident so I don't know how that worked out, aannd I am an incredibly positive/upbeat person which is funny cause most of my artwork is dark and creepy! O and if tiny animals get you thinking about stew then you might as well keep moving on, because I love animals :)
I think the small things can tell a lot about a person so here are a few small things about me:
-when I go to bars I ask for milk heh heh
-when there’s a spider in the house and people are trying to kill it, I pick it up and put it outside.
-people always say that if they had my imagination they would never get bored.
-I love playing sports but if someone turns a game on TV I'll drift off to find something that’s actually interesting.
-when there’s trash on the floor I pick it up.
-I tend to exaggerate, an encounter with a mean dog may end up sounding like one of the great adventures of Hercules,
-I'm always asking "how do you spell.." and the response is always "are you serious!?"
-If you were to ask me a silly question like: the terminal velocity of an ant, I could tell you the answer, I’m still waiting for the day it pops up in a conversation…BUT WHEN IT DOES!!
-----Here are a few samples of my work:
Who I'd like to meet: anyone with a passion for what they do. please don't send me a friend request without sending a message first, I'm very nice and would love to hear from you but I'm not going to accept a request from a stranger. thanks!
Hey, you just left that message.....get back here! please!! Do you really want rocks? Remember I am gullible, so I will search for rocks for you........that's it, you're getting rocks mister
So I had an idea for this movie we were discussing.....we have the sleepwalking murderer....and she's wearing the special Velcro suit....and she has a dog who commits the acts with her, and he's sleep walking too....and wearing Velcro...and they travel together, literally attached at the hip...and she detaches him in times of need...what do you think, too much?
James! Hah I checked out your ogre vs santa painting. It's awesome! I especially like the candy cane jabbed in the thigh. That happened to me once, wasn't pretty.
Probably the best decision considering what natural venoms are capable of. Best case scenario: it really is a new species and you get to name it! I recommend something ending in 'osaurous'.
Thanks for the photo comments. I've been a little obsessed with using my Canon now that I have it. Someone told me the blonde/toy picture was actually quite scary. Happy early halloween by the way.
Hyperactive butterflies would be cute but they're kinda scary when they give chase like I'm a bipedal flower. Good thing you don't have woods like the ones here, sounds like the squirmunks would stalk you like Snow White.

Philadelphia huh? I may have to go to those forests with a mayo jar to collect cicadas. If I knew the rules of care I'd have a giant cage of cicadas, like the moth cage in Silence Of The Lambs. Weird thing is that these pics of me that turn out well are when I'm slow-motion falling on my face XD
