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.

Ahhh...you chose my fav! As I said: Love the sensation of lifting from the ground and follow the wind that I get from it.

Good choice! ; ) I love the way the forms are suggested but abstracted enough to allow the imagination to just take flight , your use of the trees is so evocative too, another beautiful piece!

ok! To be honest, at first I didn't see a tree at all here! It came afterward, as I scrolled down! But when I just look at the top of the image then it looks far more...mmmmh...cheeky let's say! But maybe it's just my twisted mind! Now, once I saw the trees, the drawing does look like a torso indeed and I love that mixture of real photography with drawing. A very cool and ambiguous one my sweet Jim! :) HUGE HUGS

This is great! Even without the torso shape the twisted ghostly image of the trees is quite an image, well done!
