Born 1974, UK
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.

Great to see your style applied to non-human forms, it has the feel of Russia and the Zar and all the elegance, then I guess we are all supposed to see different things in these.

This is so beautiful Jim, the colours & tones are spot on & the detail looks amazing I can only begin to imagine what an impression it must make full size.... drools! ; ) I could lose myself for a long time in this shimmering, reflective illusory space!
saldegal
WOW ... beautiful details and colours ... a beautiful work of art ... almost a shrine perhaps!

OH-MY-GOD! This is so gorgeous, how in the world did you make this?? It has such a clean strong feeling on the eyes, it's fun to look at- and there are such beautiful details. This is perfection right here! Heather

I totally love the top part of the image but, to me, the bottom one doesn't fit with the top one! I think the first one should be an image on its own! But that's just MHO of course!! Very classy piece of work anyhow!

you've definately evolved in your style... i liked the blue but i'm partial to it... i see 2 figures on either side looking up at the top of this refractive & smokin pyramid overlooking the lake of shimmering glass ;]

I prefer the smaller image: color, and detail are better. This has too much smudginess from the compression and the noodling cloudiness is lost. Still beautiful, but I have to close my eyes against the artifacting. The cooler coloration also helped it appear remote and ephemeral and shimmery.
Synapse
I suspect the "smudginess" was deliberate - I don't think it's anything to do with compression, it's actually a subtle technique I've used a lot recently whereby I offset the colour channels by one pixel to try and achieve an optical holographic effect :-)

Sometimes the reflection reveals the true nature of things. Wonderful world to sink in; like a temple of the soul. :-)

I like the postwork you gave to it.. yes..the color tunes are closer to my favorites, but also it gives more volume to the image. Utopia for my taste =)

wonderful lighting here - I want to walk in...
