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.

Jim, this is very cool. I will be interested in watching this WIP to see how you develop this one.
cbender
wow - this is really cool so far, dear Jim :) first i love the colours, second i love those shapes... (they're yours...) and you did a really good job on the painting... like the subtle tones that can be found there... well... looking forward what's the next step... you could think about putting in a contrasting colour... but it would give much more tension here... hugs
Dendrite
I love this! Was just thinking how perfect it was in every way, not too little, not too much, everything in total harmony. Then on scrolling down I read that the end product will be almost unrecognisable in comparison! Aaaah!
Synapse
Well, you'll be pleased to know I've had a change of heart - except for a few tiny touches of one extra colour, I'm going to keep it as it is :-)
ascrazy
fantastic artwork, i like this style:-)
crrunchyfrog
I'm so glad you decided to leave this design as is, I so love it, a beautifully zen image and I can't wait to see what you do with it next :) Thank you so much for sharing all that you do hugest hugs xxx
mansco
Wonderful shapes and colours, I like it very much ;O)
Naichan
Aye, go easy Jim! Rememeber there's no undo with acrylics on canvas :-) But a subtle addition of colour would bring it closer to some of your digital works. I'm interested in how whatever media you use there are common elements unique to you. Anyway, I approve :-)
Synapse
Thanks Nigel, be assured that whatever I add will be pretty minimal as I don't want to detract from what I've done already ;-)
erlandpil
Nice work in a good image erland
zoren
an interesting combination of the flat hard edge, with a soft depth of background color........
bobutah
wonderful...sharp, and yet soft and emotive...the colors are both soothing yet a touch of tense...simply wonderful, and the texture is great. thanx

Very nice and subtle from you synapse.... you are so good at what you do.... you should be very proud of yourself. I wish i could have half your talent to pull 2d stuff off like this. Bravo

This has such a wonderfully subtle dynamic feel to it Jim, it's just sheer pleasure to sit & contemplate.... love it!
