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.

Great to see how the textures of the underlying materials come through in the detail Jim, gives a much better impression of what it must be like to see this for real.

I think the lighting works even better with this detail, Jim, thanks to the textures. I could also imagine this as the inspiration for a pencil sketch!

This would be fantastic just by itself Jim. I really like this style of art. Unique and beautiful. When I look at this, I get the feel of wind blowing off the ocean and the fence planted in the sand. I know that isn't what it is, but that's the "feeling" I get, probably from old memories.

It still feels a little odd commenting here when you are sitting right beside me, yet, as it seems here lately, this masterpiece just hasn't had enough viewings or comments, so I can't resist adding my 2 cents worth. This really is a magnificent work, to look at it in the flesh adds so much more dimension than a 2D photo can muster. Its been great to see you get back to traditional media, and I think you'll agree that these sort of results are well worth the effort ;) biggest hugs. Thank you SOOOO much for creating and sharing my dear friend, I appreciate it so much :) xxxx

Your work is incredible and intriquing.My sense of touch screams when I see this work.This applies actually to all of the similar peice in your gallery.Which I will indded get to and rate.Exceptional,unique and I certainly feel that I am walking through an Art gallery rather that this online gallery(but thankfully you are publishing here as I suspect your work is indeed in several actual"Galleries"!)
