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.

Nice shot Jimski, Looking at the colours and shapes, It's like one of your paintings, Natures Synapse. Murph

I was going to say that's an Angofora with a Sassperella growing on it, then I read where you took it and it's just up the road, I live on the Central Coast as well.

The line pattern is beautiful, it creates an abstract design.
suresh_krishna
This is absolutely spot on. A simple but effective one. The climber looks so determined. Love the clarity of the tendrils. The diagonal shot adds so much.
Synapse
Thanks Suresh. My shot was actually pretty much vertical, it was the climber running diagonally :-)

Wonderful to see how nature finds fast objects to find a solid place! :)

Nature's color palette on this bark is fantastic. You have a splendid capture here Jim. Amazing how simple things can appear so miraculous when focused upon. The plant is somewhat uplifting, seeing how it stretches and stretches, ever reaching and grabbing. Excellent photograph.

Viewed on its side this could almost be a Martian landscape or something. I detect a link here between your assemblage paintings and the digital works. Anyway, well spotted! ps. Thanks for the message! Yes, we must have another EC collab. See what I can find to start it. Look forward to the one by Cassie and yourself. ;-) Cheers!

Beutiful textures & colours, the light seems almost surreal to me & the photo really looks like a painting imo too! Great capture Jim.

This is a fantastic shot - more like an abstract piece to me. The texture and colours you've captured are wonderful.
