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.

SoulEatar
Great piece of work !

Stunning Jim I like the suggestion of a wine glass adding to the feel of drinking the air, not sure about the face in the bottom for me it spoils the vertical composition pulling you back down into the image. :0 )
Royalspikey
Wow, I'm well impressed by this type of imagery, this series of colour and graphical style is really excellent. Your smoothing of the source imagery is top class and the overall feel smacks of real professionalism. I like the font too, especially with the glyph spacing like that. Super work fella...
cingram
Pro standard. I'm blown away by this, its gorgeous!!
crrunchyfrog
So beautiful my friend, but I guess it helps to have a model such as Pascale ;) hugest hugs Thank you so much for creating and sharing this masterpiece, as you can see I'm rather speechless ;) hugs

Very stylish. Especilly like the balance of the mirroring of the shoulder & face shapes. Also the image gives the sensation of looking through a organic bubbly layer at the model. Like it alot, could make it as a novel/album cover

To be honest I liked the thumbnail better because in full-size the shapes become too big for my liking. The idea behind the image is good, with very nice colors (there you go). The photo is indeed very nice, because it accentuates the female profile and makes it more a shape than a human face. Therefore there is less emphasis on it being a female which enhances the aesthetics as a more objective aspect... i have a feeling this makes no sense at all... blame my choice of words ;)
Synapse
Yeah it's okay, it does make sense :-)

...quite exceptional! --- very clean and well composed -- I love the suggestion of the elongated neck --the typography is elegantly placed and becomes part of the composition.
