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.

I really have a lot of catching up to do with commenting on your latest works, not that you don't know what I already think, but I sorta feel I should keep up tradition L. This carries your beautiful fusion between graphics and fine art - the macrabre/horrific and pure beauty. Thank you so much as always for sharing all that you do hugest hugs xxxxx

I think you were wise to steer clear of the politics of the event here, as I think it would have deflected attention from the works themselves, and that would have been a shame, as these are extraordinary creations, all three. No doubt, of all the art inspired by the events of 9/11, it would be hard beat these...

Creative Artwork Jim And A Excellent Presentationjyriviuhko
Even thogh I haven't been around posting I have dropped in from time to time checking out your work. And I'm perplexed over how concistent you are.. your'e style really is unique!! Love it man!!
Synapse
Thanks Jyri - I must admit I hardly ever work in the style you see here now, although I still bring it out once in a while. You can tell this is 2001 work really. I'm grappling with natural media more now, but can't envisage leaving digital behind...
LillianaSapphire
This is an excellent presentation of work. i love the work in the centre, well done.
zzzak
the patterns you like to make so much make me think of some sort of weird cybernetic crystallization... i know that has nothing to do with these but they look great :-)
clifftoppler
Strange, the black and white image caused me to investigate, but I agree the central one is the better. You have a formidable imagination.
