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.

Hell you are clever! This is brilliant my friend, so wonderfully surreal it tilts my brain in just the right way. Thank you so much for creating and sharing hugs

Very surreal indeed & something that I'm going to have to look at for a while as it's sending my imagination off at all sorts of tangents, I just love the way your images do that! Fascinating abstracted form as ever & beautiful use of colour & tone. Excellent, thought provoking image for the theme Jim ; )
saldegal
Wonderful image, yes surreal and beautifully done!

One of my favs from you Jim, surreal and very inspiring. Your abstraction and blending with the rose is excellent! Really a trigger for imagination and a great theme image!

untraditional surrealism (if it didn't exist before, it's now here...)

I agree totally with Cassie: Hell you are clever! :-) Brilliant work; inspiring, fascinating, sensual.... and lots of thoughts are just running into my head - mainly thoughts without words. Just admiring, and feeling soooo good! :-D

Damn good concept.. but..but.. I wish I had done it myself :) I'm sure I'll come back to see this one later.

The thing is great

A good bit more objective than what I am used to seeing from you. It seems to me that the body should either be less synapsed up or the head should be more so. The unaltered rose would probably go best with a less retouched body.

I browse trough your gallery... it was so much time i didn't. Always a good selection of great works, my friend.
