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 wharf is interesting, but wow! look at the cliff erosion. Some interesting shapes there. Really I love it all. This is full of interest to me Jim.

...yes it is an impressive point of view.Hard light to shoot into, but the detail is there on main subjects.

@Suzanne, this was the main reason I chose this one to post as it shows where the natural and artificial meet. Actually the wharf seemed less incongruous than man-made eye-sores often do - on one level it almost works!

A rugged place. The light seems to have been against you. Still, a good shot though.
Synapse
The light was against me and it's bleached out the sand and sky, but I don't mind that in this case :-)

Always a tought shot into the light to get proper shadows - looks good. Er, you do realize given the number of posts here it's unlikely anyone you are replying to will come back again and see the reply? Sorry, not trying to be a jerk LOL.
Synapse
Oh I know that, but it doesn't bother me ;-)

Very interesting composition...love the stark white sand even tho you mentioned it was sun bleached...I think it adds to the photo .

Love the contrasting light in this Jim, never really understood peoples hang-ups with burnout highlights its not like it doesnt happen when you look into the sun. Great mix of manmade and nature going on here.
