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.

This lighting is beautiful, Jim! But I prefer the first one because it has more details shown... maybe it's only because of this smaller size... Anyway this lit direction is other wise so lovely - it somehow makes the whole composition work even better. Very inspiring - I have to try this technique some day. :-)

Lovely lighting effect. To me it could be either sunrise or sunset depending on the location. For some reason, I see sunrine in it. This piece has always been beautiful in my mind. It is such a complete scene. I like the tint you used Jim. ;)

I can see your fascination for this kind of relief work by this imaginative reposting of the same (but not) image. It's always when the light hits it from a very acute angle that we see the most impressive results, like with the craters of the moon. That's the reason I like this. Nicely colourised too, in a colour that describes the landscape ;-)
