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.

Intriguing composition, excellent flow and soothing coloration. Very well done!

I just love what you've done here, a exciting take on the "liquid to human concept". There is a lot of movement going on and a real 2 and a a half dimensional effect, which is damn hard to get it right. Congratulations on a job well done.

I don't think I'll ever tire of looking at this style of yours. So different, so cool. Almost like some sort of modern day art deco digital look. "Digital Deco," hmmmmm. Vote -jay

You do this so well. A fine combination of form and line.

I love that minty green!! very aero-shape, great feeling of movement! Very sci-fi! Not my fav style from u but pretty cool still! :)
jocko500
looking great
Heart'Song
Mmmmmm........I never tire of it either. This is totally delicious. I could just roll around in the colour - and the little subtly rich bits of dirty shading 'round the structure is wonderful. Lovely highlights too. Aw, forget the blather. I'll just add it to my faves, and then I can moon over it at my leisure.

Three things come to mind. Test tubes, preying mantises and the flash.

Beautifully done!!!
titta
It's looking so 3d that it could be a sculptor! Love the tone, and dynamics. He/she is definitely challenging the gravity:-) I like this one a lot!!!!!!

I was trying to find the right words to express my admiration, but I think Jay7347 said it all: "a modern day art deco digital look". What a wonderful definition! I wish I could vote for it, as I do for your render. V

Instantly recognisable as "Synaptic". The cool minty green is also a treat. There's a soft airbrushed quality about it that makes me wish it was a huge real world painting. As for the Godspeed reference, you're ahead of me Jim, I'm only just reading about them in the latest issue of Audion!
Synapse
Check them out Nigel, brilliant band :-)

excellent image...!!! great composition, love colours and tone.

A frozen moment in time is very fitting, Im not sure the colour shouts frozen to me. I definitely get a feel for crucifixion from this a nice observation Cneofotistios right on the nail for me too. :0 )
DawnStar
Really nice, Synapse! I see the runner frozen in place. I like the color so much I may try a painting with that color myself. It's interesting that this is so dynamic and yet frozen in time.

i really love this peice, such detail and yet sublety in form ;) wonderful painting :)(:
syndroid
This is looking extremely futuristic, because of the way the character is looking and the colors you used. These are very serene colors, setting it apart from a lot of other work being posted here. Now that I looked at the image again, it reminds me of watching a dvd on a pc using a cheap flatscreen... the motion kinda stick to the screen due to a poor refresh rate ;) in this case I like it :)
crrunchyfrog
I'm so glad you posted me the ebot for this droooooooools I don't think I could get sick of this either, you manage to make each one so unique. I see what you mean when you were talking about sculpture tonight, I could see this one immediately! Brilliant my dear friend HUGS Thank you so much for sharing :D

Perfect. Great composition.
