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.

They look like having really fun!!!!! This is so cool too; and the framing adds more light. I kind of prefer the previous one - here my eyes are captured by Jut's jeans, because they are not in such dynamic move than everything else in this picture L I love those geometrical the tonal areas!!!! Thanks for sharing these so creative and impressive images:-)

Another cool one, but to my eye not enough to focus on this time. Still cool though!

I think I like the first one better, but that's only because it was so damn stunning! This is interesting in its own right I think, the jeans are maybe a bit too white, perhaps toning them down might work. (can you tell I'm not sure if I'm indecisive today? ;) ) I love this effect Jim and could imagine this series well used in promotional material :D hugs Thanks for sharing buddy.

Undecided about this one Jim, I think it would make a good pairing with the other image, The can in Justins hand keeps getting my attention and just what is that at his feet? Sorry mate Im struggling with the take away and six-pack elements. Still I like the sense of movement and flashes of light. :0 )
Synapse
Yeah, what IS that at his feet? I can't remember...
