The piece is well done. The only thing is the ring holding the cat to the beads could be a bit stronger, but is a minimal detail and as a display piece, not an issue.

When we lived in Princeton our son Julian had just turned 2, he is now almost 25. I am so glad you still have the book.

I recently moved from Princeton, MA, where Jamie lived on the same street. He was always ready for a friendly and enthusiastic chat and took an interest in my family – kids and grandkids. In 1997 he learned that my husband and I were traveling to Mali to visit our son who was a Peace Corps volunteer there. Jamie brought us a bag of small colorful toys he had collected to give to the local children. Not having anything to play with other than homemade toys, Jamies’s gifts were a very welcome treat. I wouldn’t be surprised if those toys are still being shared with other children in the small village of 300 inhabitants.
When his wonderful book, The Legendary Adventures of the Flying Mingling Brothers was published he generously brought us an autographed copy. After that we traveled to Switzerland for a sabbatical year and he had moved when we returned. I lost contact after that. The reason I am writing now is that I just came across his wonderful book in my bookcase. It will be just perfect to share with my young twin grandchildren. And so, his legacy lives on as his whimsical work will continue to bring joy to yet another generation. His talent and imagination are unmatched and his kindness and generous spirit remain. We will certainly keep these memories in our hearts.

Thank you for your message. We closed the gallery in New Orleans and are currently only selling my dad’s art online. Julian

I always admired Jamie and his art. We will miss him and his inspiration. I also have a walrus horn he carved in scrimshaw that I treasure. Let me know where his works will be displayed/sold.
Sincerely,
KOHL

I remember the day he sold it to me @ Mardi Gras 1997. He was sitting at a table personalizing prints for a couple in front of us and they were being really, really particular. Jamie was so kind and gracious but, I could tell they were testing his patience. My friend and I waited what seemed to be an entity when we decided to tell him we were going to get something to drink and asked if we could bring him anything back. He said, “Coffee!” When we returned about 20 minutes later he was alone and surprised we actually came back with a large coffee just for him. While personally not a smoker, I really liked “The Smokers Club”. He told us the story behind it saying it was commissioned by Robin Williams & the original was hung in his home. As I chose the print I wanted Jamie said, “I have something special for you for being so kind and friendly.” He sold me his last Artist Proof #13 of 25. I’ve carried that print with me as our military moves took us around the world. Even to Rancho Palos Verdes from 2005-2007. I had no idea he had lost so much to Katrina and lived so close at the same time. Tonight while speaking to my sister your father’s name was spoken as I asked my sister if her daughter would be up to finally framing it for the game room of the house we are currently building. That’s when I searched for Jamie’s name only to find he has departed this life. I was compelled to share this brief moment in time that I shared with an artist sitting at a table, in a mall, with a big smile, a big heart, and the patience of Jobe. Know that I cherish this memory and his work. I have 3 pieces. One I even sent my parents to buy when they went to New Orleans. Thank you for sharing your husband & father with us. I’m so sorry for your loss but, that in sharing my memory a smile is brought to your face. Much love to you.
