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 like the image very much. The graphics leave enough room for interpretations. So far I see a figure with a glowing head in a strange environment...

Impressing work!!! Interresting composition, and I really like the colors. The glowing thing draws you in. Those featherlike streaks, how dod you do them, I have always liked them and wonder...

The tube is supposed to represent an umbilical cord, don't know if anyone got that ;-)

It's almost as if you can touch it and feel it's plasticity. This is very scientific actually... I'm not sure about the red in the image. I'm sure it's the focal point, but maybe you could have made it lighter instead of red. Oh, I have a different view of the image itself actually. I see a telephone answering itself...

Oh god YEAH, I getcha :-D
