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.

...these are always goood. I wish there would be photo instead of boring poser girlie. Well, the figure and pose is perfect, but that face..
gallimel
well, considering a boring poser picture won the contest, this stands out about a million times over it anyway.. It's a gorgeous work, so intimate and full of character. The feeling you wanted to convey absolutely reach the viewers, and this is what counts :)

I just use Poser when I don't have a photo reference to hand :-)

You made very nice use of that fetus figure. I think that the image takes a very different perspective than most of your pictures. In this case you can actually see the space as part of it's own gigantic and fully three dimesnional universe. A very different idea from your usually flat and frame-engulfing images. You did a nice job with the ear: looks sort of like a cave. One suggestion: It would be interesting to have her hanging onto the hair, as if she was falling and needed to keep herself upright by crawling along on the strands of what looks sort of like bushes . . .
kick ass pic!
