Jamie Jo

Are you ready to hear about a girl so talented at art that she literally got hate for painting fast food so realistic it was thought to be a photograph? Because that's Jamie Jo, aka BananaJamana on YouTube.

Jamie Jo talks pretty fast and seems to have a hybrid American-British accent, but she is from Michigan and just recently has moved to England where she shares a flat with fellow youtuber, Doddie Clark [doddleoddle]. Jamie Jo just seems like the sweetest person. I'd love to have her as a friend, although that friendship might just kill me with jealousy of her art talent. I can't really art, so I'm extra appreciative of those like Jamie Jo who can.




BananaJamana has right now about 67,000 subscribers, so I'm definitely saying she's one of the hidden gems of YouTube.
'Art Overload'

Jamie Jo makes mostly art videos and they're so cute. Generally she films herself from different angles painting or drawing or whatnot and speeds it up for the videos. She adds cute music, commonly songs by youtubers, and edits nicely. Her videos aren't those draggingly long art videos where you watch for 20 seconds and then skip to the end to see the finished product. She's amazing to watch and I'm in awe with every video.

Sometimes Jamie Jo also uploads vlogs or other kind of videos as well.


It is indeed a painting.
'GIRL PAINTS CHEESEBURGER'





[See, it's not a photo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fMtQEUKe5w&feature=youtu.be Jamie Jo was getting so much criticism for this painting being fake that she uploaded a clip of her painting the food in real time. The fact that she's just honestly good enough for the disbelief says something in itself.]


'Adventure Time Cake'

Her most popular video is 'Adventure Time Cake' which is a wonderful little video of her making what turns out to be a giant and extravagant cake themed around the popular cartoon Adventure Time. As of the time writing this, it has over 281,000 views. Her next four most popular videos are her painting youtubers AmazingPhil [video], danisnotonfire [video], ItsWayPastMyBedtime [video], and KickthePJ [video].

Jamie Jo has an etsy account that she sells some of her art on, although I've never seen it stocked because everything she offers gets sold super quickly.
