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.

The mind certainly needs to find patterns - well for me, just below center, and coming out of the diagonal piece is a fish head, mouth open, it's right eye visible.

It looks great either way up, you can't say that about many art works!!

Another great piece of art ! I can see the rest of a shipwreck here, in between.

It's like finding faces in the fire. Or subliminal art. A game anyone can enjoy!

Keeps the mind rivetted to find forms and feelings. This is an intriguing piece of art. I love this kind of mental exercise.

Works even better for me this way Jim, it makes a deeper more evocative impression, I could look at this for ages & find all sorts of things but I keep coming back to a very sad face partially hidden at the bottom there!

I don't usually need to look for identifiable forms in abstracts. The feelings they suggest are more than enough. This is how one might feel after a long struggle: tired and tense, though calm already starts to settle in.

I had this image of a scarecrow in my head from your other post, now I see a fallen man, perhaps too much contemplation.
