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.

Thanks Murph blushes. I considered calling this "Every Man Is An Island" but wanted to keep the pretention level down ;-) On a side note, the cracked wall is on a decrepit little building just up the road from where I was staying in NSW... Cass and I went on a little photographic wander only a couple of weeks ago.

Now how did I know this was yours even before I looked at the name underneath (rhetorical) :o) As always, stunning and thought provoking !

A recognition on two levels. I just adore this Jim, the composition is so harmonious and meditative.

Yum! Thank you, can I have some more please sir? Great work my beautiful friend, I hope you aren't feeling the title as much as I (being Netless makes it feel even moreso). Wonderful to see you playing in your 'old' style, I really like this one a lot!!! Thank you as always for creating and sharing all that you do xxxxx
Kuiski

Evokes the melancholy of rootlessness very well as you seem to be being pushed along by the tidal flow of fate. Clealy being legless is an advantage in such circumstances 8-D! I'm interested in such surrealistic deformities in art, but rather squeamish in real life. But this is fine. Very 70's airbrush style I think. I could easily imagine this as a canvas work. As I said before, your work in differing media seems to merge, borrowing styles and techniques from each other. A very sucessful work!

Good work here erland

Again I am liking the confines of the thumb nail, perhaps I need to get out into the open space again.
