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 find this one very classy! I love the colors even though it's not my kind of colors but it works so well here! And that nacre-like texture is so beautiful...it looks very precious! It could be a scene of everyday life! Thx for the link btw sweet Jim, I'm gonna have a look at this! ;)
Synapse
Well, everyday life deep in the subconscious maybe ;-)

I have not seen the original image, but this is a fav of yours for me. Love the composition, the choise of colors and the mystical shine that shapes a mood of dreaming and longing for me.

I'd have to say that this is one of my faves from you too my friend HUGS Its doing strange stuff to my head, stranger than it usually is ;) Thank you so much for creating what you do HUGS

This is visually very easy on the eyes, thanks to the well chosen colours, but theres's so much attention grabbing detail to entertain too. I could quite happily live with this on my wall. BTW, how about making a Synaptic calender? This could be November!

very cool! love the motion and irridescent colors! it is a cool scene...my first impression here is that we're in an operating room & these are the moments before death. the subject is outside his/her body...kinda floating...leaving a farewell kiss to the world. Fantastically cool! vote!

Everything I love about your images Jim, The little flashes of light lead my eyes around only stopping to understand the shapes and forms. There has just got to be a hidden image in this somewhere, perhaps Eskimos in an igloo :0 )

I have to say the depth of this work is like a bottomless well. Everywhere I look on this there are details that simply suck me in deeper. Fantastic imagery my friend, it is obvious that you put plenty of time and effort into this.
