Jim Tetlow
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 think you can add this one to the January theme in 2D Forum because it truely is a rebirth of something old you have not done for so many years. You almost get me inspired to do the same :-)

Questo studio di linee da cui prende vita un riconoscibile soggetto umanoide induce pere piacevolmente a visualizzare altre forme embrionali accennate nella masssa centrale. Per me un ottimo lavoro!

Gun said exactly what I was thinking as I saw this! I love the way I can see a kind of evolution from your teen work to digital to something new, I'm sure combining the two will produce some more fascinating imagery!

Yayyyy! I'm glad you decided to do this. This one has a wonderful flow. Kinda reminds me of Hopi stuff, I think. Very nice

This little guy is SO cool and endearing I could imagine him being stolen by some corporation as their mascot! I do see a few little shakes here and there, but overall I find this so incredibly free that those tiny imperfections almost add to the charm. Thank you so much for stocking up and taking the plunge ;) I so look forward to seeing where you go with this long untapped talent! hugs Great re-birthing my friend HUGS
