I like this one much better than the donut one. I’m not sure what the theme of this drawing was to be. Is it a take off on MarioBrothers video game?

I like the reflections in this one - the angle makes it appear like the banana chips are floating!

The texture is great on this. How did you get them to stay in one place long enough to photograph them? Maybe a more colorful background would have enhanced the picture....made the little loops show up better.

Well, I can tell this is not from McDonalds. Maybe some colorful lettuce and red tomato slice would have enhanced this photo. It still looks yummy!

I like the way the light reflects off of the fruit. You can see every little dimple in the oranges.

I’m not sure what you are trying to convey with this one.

Wow, I’m surprised you dad did not eat these before you could take the picture.

This is cool. You made a picture with just pieces of paper. His mouth is a little crooked! Ha. By the way, who is Luke Combs?

Yum, yum! It looks good enough to eat! I like the highlights that make it appear light is being reflected from the surface. Is this done with colored pencils?

The reflections on this piece really give it dimension!

Nice work on the zentangle pattern Jax! I think you might be happier with it if the outline of the hand was a dark line. Love the pattern and how it evolves through the design! Mom

This is pretty cool. You used triangles to form shapes. The lack of triangles to form the other hand is so obvious. I wonder why you chose hands. Those are hands, correct? I like art work that is black and white. It has that contemporary look.

I love this quote by Mr. Edison. You will see that philosophy expressed by just about every inventor. Never give up. Believe in yourself even when others do not. Nice selection for this project.

This one has a nice blue hue to it. Looks like you are just about to get a drink! Very creative Love you, Mom

Is this your self-portrait? It captures your likeness well - I like it! Love, Mom

I like how it's clearly detailed in some parts of the image, and out of focus in other parts. That makes it look like stacked bricks or layers of something. Nice work! Love, Mom

Very interesting perspective and angle!

Very interesting! Where did you find the picture? And what did you take the picture with? Looking forward to hearing more about it! Mom

This is the scariest thing I think you have created. It looks like a cross between a sea urchin and a potato. I think it is one of those things that is so unusual it is actually cute.

Nicely done Jax - this is a new medium to work with, and what better creation than to make a monster! I like the creative name and how the eyes are moving around and looking in different directions. The mouth makes it seems like the monster is saying something to you!

Oh, wow. I like this one. It is red and white, ISU’s colors. Good mix of the geometric pieces. I particularly like the circle that has been slid apart. I sent comments earlier about the zebra. Those eyes are very penetrating and are looking right at me.love it. Love both of these. Susan and Steve

Nice work on these! The color red and grey/greens are appropriate for the fall - like fall leaves and it getting darker earlier in the day. The title word "symphony" makes me think the shapes are dancing to classical music - good job giving a musical impression to the artwork! Love, Mom

love the zebra jax nice work love grandpa

Jackson, This is so cool. I feel as if the zebra is looking right at me. Like it a lot. Gm

I agree with you and like the eyes the best - they are really expressive - nice job on the zebra overall! Love you, Mom

Very nice colors - I like the brightness of the ones you chose and the flow and symmetry of the design. Nice work!
-- Mom

Wow, love the colors. How did you get the corners to look like stripes? I really like how your design makes those little blue corners.
-- Gma K

Hey, just saw the new artwork. Does your name start with a “ J”? Nice way to incorporate that initial into the piece. I’ve noticed you have used green in several art pieces. Is that your favorite color?
-- G&G K.

Love this one!
-- Mom

Love the green color - nice work!
-- Mom

Love the colors and symmetry! Great job!
-- Mom

Oh, my! I love it. The pink and yellow really pop.
G&G

Love the colors and it certainly looks like a Wildcat is clawing the jar. I guess it is not a vase to hold flowers.....all of those holes would make that difficult. Ha.

-- Gpa B.

green is one of my favorite colors, like plants nice work you have quite a collection of art a good portfolio to begin with wide variety nice job
-- Gpa B.

I have seen this one upstairs at your house. Kind of dark. Chalk isn’t it? I am reading a book about cells right now and this reminds me of a cell moving. My favorite portion is the blue hatched area. Love the color and variation in lines.
- G&G

I think this picture would be a good one for Easter. It appears there is a cross in the background
- G&G

Is this your dad?
- G&G

I saw this at your house. I didn’t know you had made it. What color is the glaze before you fire it? I think the variation in color really adds to the piece. Nice work.
- G&G

I was just looking at all of your art work again. I have missed commenting on several so I am going to do that now. I like my fish cooked on a cedar plank on the grill. Uncle Tom would love it - G&G

Have you been looking out of my California window? These cactus grow there. The one with “arms” is native to Arizona. The Prickly pear “ round ones “ are all over the place. We have little barrel- shaped ones that are getting ready to bloom. Cactus have flowers just like other plants but the blooms do not last very long. Love the new picture. Gma K

Makes me think of snow and spring coming soon behind!
-- Mom

Great job on the cactus design Jax! Love it and would enjoy hearing more about how you put the design together. Love you! Mom

Great job - love the self portrait! Mom

I knew who this was immediately. You got the hair and eyes just right. I like the blue sky and puffy cloud. Indicates you are a happy and optimistic boy. Love you, Gma

I am in Picton, NZ library. Your blues remind me of all the water I have seen. You are very creative and a fine artist. Love you, Gma

Jackson your art work is cool I like how the lights look
-- James

Lots of red white and blue cool
-- Viki-tortor

Wow, you just keep producing these great pictures. I like the movement to the Northern Lights that you were able to capture in this work
-- G&G

I can't believe I did not comment on this one. It is one of my favorites. I love the precarious stacking of the birds. Grandma

I've been reviewing your artwork. I think I missed some of them. This one is growing on me. Ha! My favorite part is the color and the shading you have done. Grandma

I was just wondering. Did you draw the soldier first and then add the overall design? Grandma

Wow! You must have done this for Vetern's Day. I had to look at it for awhile and then saw the soldier saluting. Nice job. Grandma

I like it. Makes me think of tortilla chips!
-- G&G

I really like your snowman!
-- Aunt April

My favorite part is the guy in the middle!
-- Aunt April

I like this, Jackson! But now I'm hungry for Mexican!
-- Aunt April

Love the textured look to the piece - very nicely done!
-- Mom

Jackson, I love this weaving. The colors and the weaving of solid and striped paper is really a great idea! G&G

Love it - he looks like a happy but spooky monster manager! I wonder what kind of other monsters he might be in charge of….?
-- Mom

Jackson, That baseball is going to be hard to find in all that snow! I like it! G&G K

Wow, I like those big trees. Your drawing is similar to Harold Gregor's Vibrascapes. He was the head of the art department at ISU Grandma Kern
-- G&G K

Looks awesome!
-- Jason

Jackson, love the new picture! Grandma Kern
-- Steve & Susan K.

I just saw your flower on the web site. Nice colors. I like the clouds.
-- Steve & Susan K.

hi jackson, cool art work, keep up the good effort, love grandpa b
-- Phil B.

Wow, Jackson. I love your landscape painting. Did you use watercolors? I like the blue and the green. Love, Grandma
-- Steve & Susan K.

Oh, wow! This is great. I think it would make me very dizzy if I rode on this! Grandma Kern
-- Steve & Susan K.

Looks great but I'm not sure I'd ride that roller coaster!
-- Jason

i really like the mix of colors and the patterns, super job, keep up the good effort, lv gpa
-- gpa

Really like the blue color!
-- Jason

Very cool, Jackson! I like the creative shapes and how you arranged them to make the man stand out!??
-- Aunt

Jackson, I just saw your first cut paper design. I like it. I think the man is sitting at a desk. I like the colors you used. Grandma Kern
-- Grandma kern

Jackson said this is a man in the middle and then fun paper cutout decorations around the outside :)
