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.

gallimel
awwwwwwwwwwww:) I am inspired too after yesterday :) Must have been your lovely smile :) (Meli almost ready to eat for two hours ;)). Here, to talk "technically" (woooooooooooooh!) I appreciate the most the developing third dimension in the vertical scrolling: it's like at the core of going down, you get captured by a "tunnel" that moves like into an horizon internal at the main structure. You've create an excellent suggestion for a cyber space :) Hugs :)
Synapse
And that horizon bisects a diamond (or a reflecting pyramid) below the creature's snout... is it feline or canine? It's whatever you want it to be ;-)

tricksta

crrunchyfrog
I see something incredibly introspective, all points leading inwards to reveal the exact location of a true face ;) Brilliant my friend! Thank you so much for sharing and Merry Crimbo ;)
borsy
Beautifully done!!
Heart'Song
There's a sort of glory in this to me - and an excitement. I like it very much!
bevchiron
Something very elegant & beguiling about this that subtley draws my eye in toward the face where the negative space takes on an interesting intensity.... looking forward to seeing where this series goes!
disa
A synaptic constructivism, very good work my friend, simple but effective. And Merry Christmas!!!
cynlee
too much triptafan in the turkey, the image envelopes me in it's cool touch, speaking in vibrating oms, peaceful... merry time :]
gunsan
This reminds me of ice, the queen of winter in Synaptic form, elegant!
mooncat
beautiful and as Gun said, elegant.
mysnapz
Love the crisp clean lines in this, a nice suggestion of a face that I almost get. LOL Very different from the image that inspired you, in all but colouring, I guess that you, letting the creativity take over LOL :0 )
titta
Yes, now I can see the face!!! I haven't lost all of my ability to see things:-) Like Gun, I see ice and a frozen moment of a day - that moment when sun barely comes up and goes again. Very fresh and bright.
