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.

Detail never ends, yep, and your overlay tint play shows that with a lot of depth, love it.

erlandpil
Good idea and well done
saldegal
Details often overlooked ... it takes quite some skill to make a photo of the ground this fascinating!

Great work dude, love the structure and textures. Murph
cbender
that's really fantastic, dear jim...!!! it's amazing to look at it - the details the "shades"... gives a great feeling of depth... and the eye seems to get information about the scene behind in different levels too... i feel like slowly stepping in the pic... into the capture you've layed below... wow!!! thanks.. hugehugs
ifos
I really like this, you have created a very imaginative work from the simplest of elements. Excellent!!
vangogh
Fantastic!....agree with cbender....all the layers and very interesting textures work together to create a wonderful feeling of depth.
Naichan
I totally agree. Ballard said something similar; that everything is infinitely interesting given the power of the imagination, (or something very similar). Super muted colours here. Seems like a moonscape composite seen from a space probe. (ps. Got your sounds okay! Eager to work with them right now if I could :-)

Really effective interplay between the geometric shapes & the photo Jim, gives an impression of infinite depth & detail to explore.... hard to tear my eyes away! Nice one ; )
gunsan
I like what you did here Jim! This way I pay a lot more attention to the details than I would have done on a plain beach shot. Wonderfully creative and a pleasure for my eyes!

This speaks to me of time. All things on the earth, from flesh to rock - all become sand and dirt, they become the soil. Given time. Every grain of sand has a million memories. Very good work here :)

very intresting and relaxing

...this really works for me -- can't say why just yet - but I'll keep looking!

Beautiful and fascinating abstract Jim. Impressive technique.
Synapse
Well, you guys have amazed me... I just knocked this up really quickly yesterday evening and didn't consider it such a serious piece! I never expected such a response as this, thank you :-)

It would be interesting to see the rectangle move around randomly in animation similar to the animanted gif I uploaded.
Synapse
I admit I had considered it for a moment, but it would detract from the point of the exercise: the focus is not meant to be the graphic devices themselves but the areas of ground underneath that they reveal. The graphic devices are there to isolate these areas so they can be viewed as "landscapes" in their own right rather than just looking at the whole.
