About the artist
The only thing I enjoy more than eating Colorado food culture is drawing it.
I'm M. J. Star. I moved to Colorado in 2019 and have been drawing digitally for almost 2 decades. In early 2022, I started drawing art that depicts Colorado's rich food and drink culture. I've been traveling the state going to various breweries, wineries, cideries, bars, and restaurants. I try their food and drinks, and transform all of that into art that celebrates Colorado's blossoming local food culture.
My shop features all original art work draw on my mobile tablet.

Testimonials

Jasmine is a highly talented artist and a delight to work with. She is professional and clear about the scope of her work but at the same time personable, flexible and giving. Her depth of knowledge regarding the production of digital art and graphic design is most impressive and a welcome relief to one who knows very little. I highly recommend Jasmine.

Jasmine is so talented and was super great to work with. She helped me create a logo for my business. Saying that she did a phenomenal job would not be doing her work enough justice.

I recently met Jasmine and she’s super devoted and passionate about her art and work! I had the pleasure of learning more about her artistic process and I became even more appreciative of her unique designs. My boyfriend purchased a couple of her coasters for Christmas gifts and they sit on my coffee table where I see the vibrant colors and fun eye catching art! Use Jasmine for graphic design any day!

Truffles, bitch.
Found beside tree roots underground, black truffles are one of the most valued mushrooms on the planet. A pound will set you back over $1,000 because that intoxicating scent is well worth half its weight in gold.

The Story Behind Witch Black Truffle
Unveiling art at Shroomski Night, Halloween 2024. Get tickets
This piece was made in preparation of the Psychedelic Club's Mindful Market. Mushrooms--and fungi as a whole--are some of the most underrated life on the planet. From delicious garish, to effective medicine, to deadly poison, and trippy experience makers, these not-plants are magical.
Princess Mushroom
Psilocybin is one of nature's more underrated pain killers. A few people I know use or have used small doses of this medicine to treat the outrageous pain cause by conditions like endometriosis and cluster headaches. As someone who responds poorly to most pharmaceuticals, I understand why it has gained traction in the "spoonie" or chronic pain community.

Witch Black Truffle
Arguably the most expensive edible mushroom on the planet. One pound will set you back as much as $1,600.

Poisonous Muscaria Amanita known as Fly Agaric to the Europeans and as Toadstools to the common gamer. Found in the grass and leaves, it's many things to many species.
At one dosage it's poison to flies and men alike. At another it's a Christmas time Shamanic right to the reindeer herding Koryak people of Siberia, and at yet another it's an FDA approve treatment for schizophrenia.

The princess dress design was inspired in part by Princess Peach form Mario Brothers. This spacey girl looking into the distance is surrounded by fireflies in the habitat that mushroom tend to grow in - the forest. What surprised me while drawing this was how quickly I got it done. It took only about 8 hours. Most of my pieces take 10 to 15. I accredit this to a little bit of tracing, but mostly to my newly simplified style of drawing the human body. I have been taking a leaf out the early 2000s Western Animation style of character design by using less curves and greatly simplified shapes to render my human figures. I decided to take implement this change in preparation for my pet project animated story book I plan to start after I get financially back on my feet. This new style makes drawing a lot more fun than my pseudo-anime style I was doing before. I'll definitely be using this style in the future.
Back to the subject matter at hand though: magic mushrooms. Psilocybin is one of nature's more underrated pain killers. A few people I know use or have used small doses of this medicine to treat the outrageous pain cause by conditions like endometriosis and cluster headaches. As someone who responds poorly to most pharmaceuticals, I understand why it has gained traction in the "spoonie" or chronic pain community. Yes, most users of psilocybin are just trying to get high and talk to machine elves and the like, but like with a lot of psychedelic's, when taken at a low dose, it had select medicinal applications.

The Story Behind 300 Suns Fried Chicken Collection
"How did you first hear about the Left Hand Artist Group?"
It was my first meeting with LHAG as they call themselves. As a first time member, I had to get on my feet and tell them the answer to this question. As I normally do, I told the truth, even though it was less than positive.
"Well," I more or less said. "I was told," by the restaurant that shall not be named "what ever you do, don't join Left Hand Artist Group."
The group laughs and I go to show them that I'm a digital artist.
Like all LHAG meeting it was held at a local eatery, in this case 300 Suns's Brewery. After the meeting, I decide to get a salad with fried chicken with another professional artist. While eating, I can't help but notice just how good the fried chicken was.
Now. Let's not beat around the bush. I'm black and I like me a good piece of fried chicken. And before you ask NO! I'm making 0 apologies. Seriously, friend chicken is one of a handful of food items (pasta in Italy, ice cream, french fries, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc) that if you do not like, I'm sorry, you're just wrong. Wrong or improperly initiated. A lot of tomfoolery is passed off as fried chicken, and it's a joke with no punchline; everyone is left hanging and no one is smiling by the end of it.
This gastronomical crisis is quite common across the United States. Seriously, with the exception of kind of Ezell's, I couldn't get a decent basket of fried chicken in the whole of Seattle proper. When I move to Colorado I feared that I would be fall the same fate in the West. However 300 Suns's prove this hypothesis wrong.
Later conversation with 300 Suns's back of house would reveal that the chef, Nate had been in part trained by a Southern cook and it shows. he reveals a detail about the marination process and I immediately corroborate that that is the correct way to do it. So in 2023, when 300 Sun's won best spicy fried chicken sandwich in the Denver Post I was anything but surprised.
