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.

This is it! I don't know what but I know this is it. :-) I love this one even more than the the previous relief sculpture of yours. It's happening so much there; lots to explore; faces, bodies, atmospheric elements, landscape, This is so YOU. I think there should be written a philosophical essay on this; or an epic poem - it makes a whole world for us. I try to think... it's question of how we adjust into our surroundings without losing ourselves totally. This process is painful, and is filled with contradictories. But it's the only way to do it - to do it so that it satisfies our minds. -- Oh, Jim - this is once again making me rambling like a... :-) Just splendid and delightful work!

Thank you so much Titta big hugs. As is usually the case I wasn't planning anything particular when I was arranging the pieces of wood and draping the material over it - I just did what I thought would be interesting, and this is what resulted from that. At this orientation it can potentially look frightening but upside-down it's quite different - I may post that version as well ;-)

Oh wow! This is amazing Jim, very different from the last one but again so you as Titta said! There is so much to see here it's going to take a while to even begin to absorb it all but I can say for sure it's well worth lots of time & attention! It's truly amazing to see your creative vision take on this extra dimension Jim, if I wasn't quite so speechless I'm sure I'd be rambling on just like Titta lol! but for now I have to sit here quietly & soak it all up...... stunning work ; )

Your first sculpture-painting reminded me of sand, while this is very much a snow theme. I've always been fascinated with the way snow obscures objects. This pic appeals to me in the same way. Come the think of it, this new style of yours probably isn't really so different from your digital works. You're still deforming objects and abstract forms adding the creative use of lighting. Are you planning to do more in this style?

I looked at it and the first image that came to my mind was that of a man tilling the land! There is so much of movement in it. The texture and the contours flow effortlessly. Well done!
