I meet the coolest, most amazing, and super talented artists and creators at Comic Con, and find wonderful projects they have created. The Jayme Twins have created a fantastic black and white photography series with a new perspective, called the Darkroom Series

 

The Darkroom Series is an illustration collection where they created a set of "photos" of well known icons, like Wonder Woman during WWII, and show the day to day human side of her.  



You must realize she is posing next to her invisible jet... right? (I did not need to point that out)




The world knows the bright tiara, the lasso of truth, and the bracelets that could stop bullets, but not many recognize the humanity of the woman wielding these tools: a smart, devoted member of the US Military whose mighty abilities were only a part of who she really was.


 In this collection of WWII photographs selected from the United States archives, we present to you the woman behind the cape, equally incredible in her roles as both Diana Prince and Wonder Woman.


This series lets people connect with characters they love and it shows they are people like anyone else.

There is a Harry Potter series, and a Indiana Jones series too, as well as my favorite, the WASP pilot, and this cool bakery photo... 


which took a moment for me to figure out, it's Dan Fogler, at the bakery in the end of the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (he's a terrific actor!) 

and they got him to autograph their art! (that's very very cool!)

Jemely and Jeremy Jayme are twin sisters who are passionate storytellers and freelance artists. They’re the kind of twins who do everything together, very much like Fred and George Weasley.


I asked if they had heard of Helen Longstreet, who I only learned of this spring, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2021/04/helen-longstreet-married-confederate.html  and was glad to share her story with them. I hope they add Helen to their Darkroom series of black and white photography!
