I like ambiguity in art. Uncertainty. What has to conform to the limits of our reality? Metal, glass and flesh can merge seamlessly, as if the surreal worlds and the life forms within are one and the same, and yet at odds sometimes. I rarely seek to endow my works with any "message". I am more interested in people's personal responses.
I'm a multimedia artist working in fine art (including sculpture), digital art, graphic design and various forms inbetween, also illustrating book covers and numerous CD covers. I also work in musical soundscaping, both solo and in group projects, of which there are many releases. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone here who has supported me in my work and beyond since I began posting in June 2001. Too many to mention, you all know who you are... I'm meeting very special people here :-)
Update 01-08-05: I've been given a 4 page feature article in Issue 3 of the new media magazine Contour based in Atlanta, Georgia. The images printed very well and they did me proud.
Update 21-03-06: I've been spending the last 6 months living in New South Wales, Australia. Inspiring place! Also in the process of illustrating the book covers for a series of Japanese books called Hikishio no Toki (Time of the Ebb Tide) by Mayumura Taku - to date I've completed the first two of the five volumes. I've recently been returning to traditional media as well as producing the usual digital art, and contributed a sculptural canvas to a recent local exhibition. Link: Saatchi Gallery webspace
Update 09-01-21: I hadn't even logged in for some years. It's weird nipping back here after not even posting for 13 years, like revisiting your old school incognito. As I'm not active here anymore I wonder if anyone will even see this again besides me.

I have yet to look at the first version of this, but I must say..."ggggaaaaaahhhh" You've done it again! This has such an intensely erotic mood :) Thank you so much for sharing hugs

I think I like this version better. It seems less pornographic due to the privacy of the lighting.
gallimel
it's very nice :) I gotta get used to this new version of you.. but it's a cool experiment :)
Traumer
Oooo! I like this very much, even more than brighter version. The idea of those two pictures is excellent, real glimpse of beauty and perfect technique. All of this things are making this image real masterpiece.
gunsan
This is wonderful too, even if I like the bright one the best. Here I feel the branches having a more porcelain look, not so much flesh, beautiful but not so erotic as the other one.
irix.

mooncat
I think I favor this one, beautiful!
Heart'Song
Well, not as obviously erotic as the other one, but just as beautiful and moving, in a different way. I'm glad you posted both of them.

Wow! Now this version is spooky. If you have ever walked at night this is just the sort of vision your mind conjures up for you. :0 )
