Gillard mural late addition to painting exhibition, Pip Lees, The Examiner, Saturday 26 June, 2010, page 5.
"A convincing likeness by Jamin of David Bartlett has been achieved using that medium so beloved by a certain sub-culture: spray enamel on steel. It is in a pixelated style where graffiti meets its more refined relativeand it can only be wondered why this portrait with (admittedly hard to read) lettering has not been purchased for posterity by the party faithfuls; it can only be due to the unfortunate, easy to read title: Inertia.", Clyde Selby, The Saturday Mercury, Saturday 29 May, 2010, Inside Arts page 8.
"Towards a Better World
"Die Laughing Collective present a heady mix of imagery, part Mexican Day of the Dead, part post-apocalyptic nightmare - Frida Kahlo meets Dr Strangelove." Tracey Clement, The Sydney Morning Herald, March 27, 2009, Metro Page 21

"Blown up to mega proportions and saturated in colours from a can, Jamin’s work is more billboard than wall hanging. The paintings speak in the language of pop culture, with the big, loud and shiny images we’re so used to... In First We Take Paris Then We Take The World, Jamin is reversing the spin, taking the mixed messages back to their source and having more than a bit of fun along the way."

"SYDNEY'S BEST STENCIL ART - Head to May Lane, St Peters, for a triptych of John Howard, Jesus and a balaclava-clad guerilla matched with unlikely bodies..." Lenny Ann Low, Cutting Edge, Radar, Sydney Morning Herald, 23 August 2006.
"Jamin is one of the most powerful image makers in the show (Hatched '06). Borrowing from the history of art - in particular, Russian poster art and Caravaggio's The Beheading of St John the Baptist - he has generated a series of images in black and white and red that dominate the downstairs gallery. With John Howard's head replacing John the Baptist's, he is less than subtle, but that's his point." Ted Snell, The Weekend Australian, 3-4 June 2006.
