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.

Well, well, I almost said: Here is the old Synapse back, then I saw it is a rework. Anyway, it is sooo beautiful! It makes me think of that big ice hotel they build every year in northern Sweden. More than just a hotel, it has scenes for theatre plays and other artist's events, and is rather famous.

Looks like it is winter again. Like the composition and the texture!
Synapse
Thanks for the comments :-) It's ironic that people are seeing a suggestion of snow within this as it's the first day of Summer down here and we're sitting under the big ceiling fan even though it's now night-time :-)

The original makes me think of snow a little, maybe because it has that sense of quiet serenity with a subtle sense of things going on below the surface, it could just as easily make me think of an abstract about consciousness though! This one has a much darker & more striking intensity, I love the way the soft almost lyrical flow contrasts with that intense feeling & how the composition compels me to explore that bottom right corner! A beautiful & thought provoking piece Jim ; )

I appreciate the frosty look of this fine composition. OK, so maybe that wasn't the intent but wonderful color and textures. V

Ice hotel, what an odd idea, now warm sand etc...! Anyhow, quite like the design here, very er, cool work! Have a great weekend.

I like the richness of this version over the original so much more depth, I too am reminded of the swirling patterns you find in very thin sheet ice. So please the sun is shinning for you Jim here it is wet, cold and dark!
