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.

It looks like a potato to me, but that is not important. Whatever it is, I like the lines and the tinting. Good work.

Whatever it is, it has a nice style, vibrant lines and great use of colours..

A root! First thing I saw was a root! But I can see some kind of a bird too now that u mentioned it! I love the color here as usual, very warm, my kind of colors! I always like ur colors! Great background and texture! An overall very pleasing image to me! :)

Thanks Pascale, funny how strange birds' heads seem to keep cropping up when I do the free doodling, no idea why. I don't have an obsession with birds like Max Ernst did although I do like a lot of his art...

Even before I read about Woodstock I saw him :-) Whatever he does he looks happy and a bit sleepy:

I really do love your doodles. I don't really "see" anything, but I def get a feeling of comfort and peace. Very nice, bud

I really like the feel and mood the texture evokes. Its very impresinistic to me. There also a little bit of sycnrosity here as well for me. Today I found a cross section of a sole of a show that reminds me very much of this piece. Perphas after I photgraph it and transform it and upload we can compare them.

It's definately organic... like most of your drawings. i love the simplistic freedom of line in this.

This is gorgeous Jim and I'm so glad you decided to upload it. I saw a root first too, but then after reading about Woodstock, that's all I can see L Thank you so much for sharing this 'doodle' hugs

This is so sweet! I love his hair - really sleepy looking Woodstock:-) And the whole image is so pleasing to my eyes - calm and warm. Love the tone and textures!
