Jim Tetlow
Born 1974, UK
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.

Staring dumstruck at the moment there's so much to see in this! Amazing work both of you, I'm going to be looking at this wonder for a long time yet... ; )

Great collaboration! So much to see and puzzle out.

This is the kind of creativity that puts the "exquisite" into the corpse. Very Bern-like indeed. I guess Jim for the upper and Cassie for the lower, but I look again and think that might be the other way around; it all fits together perfectly. Good work, and happy holidays to you both. :)
gunsan
I guess it is the other way Varian, whatever, it is really exquisite, and very bern-like. A piece too look at many times and just enjoy... Wonderful collaboration from you two!!

Incredible collaboration, particularly in the way you went about it and the end result. Your title fits perfectly as this is a true Symbiosis. I love the detail and harmony. I could view this for hours and never find an end to the wonders I discover in the excellent work of art. V

I've seen this chap before. This is the guy that served me at the video store the other night. He said his name was Yog-Sothoth, something like that. He didn't have any pants either. No (8(|)s

Cassie top, Jim bottom! Well, whichever it's wonderful to see you are posting again Cassie. Frankly, It's hard to imagine a better team for an "exquisite corpse" than you two. The curves and elements go together so perfectly, it's uncanny!
Synapse
Thanks Nigel, and you guessed right, as did Gun up above ;-)
