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.

Wonderful, I have a few fractal programs and one that is a favorate is MBF which is not on the market anymore but this is goood, very good but not the best I have seen
Synapse
Thank you, but no fractals whatsoever were used to create this - I used photos of real trees, it's pure photomontage ;-)
suresh_krishna
Excellent details and design. Totally reflects the halloween mood. Real trees?!! Whew, this is beyond my capability even in my dreams!
Synapse
Thanks Suresh, you know I'd totally forgotten it was Halloween. It's bigger in the States than it is over here ;-)

So the Aussie landscape gets the Synaptic treatment! Glad that it isn't pefectly symmetrical. Am particularly curious about the scene at the bottom, looks like a dramatic landscape turned on it's side. Looking forward to see what you make of the coarse bark of those gum trees! (ps. All the best to Cassie, really appreciated your comments the other day!)

Dreaming and superb compo!!!bravo!*DDD

Jimski this is great dude. You are the master of partial symmetry. As always, your choice of tone is captivating. It also reminds me of the Mothman Prophecies. Lastly, I love the light at the bottom that leads you into the distance. Murph

Having had pneumonia I do agree this looks very much like a pair of lungs.......... it looks very much like my x-ray, especially the dark patches (pneumonia)...... excellent work, very vibrant, especially the bright radiation in the centre of the piece..... looks like it is spreading life throughout the image............
NekhbetSun
Beautiful !!! and I have to agree with Groovy...it does look like lungs....very well done !
Bungalo
Superb! Now this is realy something! I don't know how to express what I feel right now, but that would be close to awe, fear and horror mixed with absolute love for this...

Super image Jim, I am seeing a struggle between light and dark here, with the light consuming the dark element.
