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.

Interesting and well done

Love all the impression this arrangement suggests Jim & the the texture emerging through the paint, I do like the way the lighting adds so much to these images but find the contrast of the light overshadows the composition just a bit in this one, very cool work again all the same ; )

a really interesting piece of work... i like what you do there, jim... the play with light and shadow... the play with the white... and with the space... thanks for sharing and showing...!

Looks like it is great fun creating these, and the result with it's shadows and light, is interresting, remembers me of my time in art school where we studied light, drawing and painting stilleben with only white objects.

Yeah don't bother cleaning your lens. Whenever you can get an effect analog as opposed to dsp its usually always more compelling. Makes me want to get a better job and get into photography.

What a fun piece this is. The Wayfarer is really pushing it. Look at that hair flying straight out in the air. Now that is speed walking. And while carrying a heavy load. Wow! This is such a fantastic piece Jim. Lots of personality. Wonderful lighting and shadows. Excellent work. V
