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 like the pattern, it makes me see you two standing outside in the sun, looking in through a glasspane. You seem to have a good time! Good to see you here again Jim!!

Happy picture! I see that texture as a location grid - maybe I am a realist L I see you two had great time eventhough not always knowing actually where you were :-) This picture made a big smile to my face - thanks!

I had an idea that you might do something like this at the time! Like the processing. Reminds me of coarse CCTV imagery, which is appropriate because I was amazed by just how common these surveillance cameras are in the UK these days. As for myself, I look like a caricature, probably due to the wide angle close up. An embarassing success!

Very X-Files. I like it. Looking at great art always makes me wonder about how it would look if you changed one thing. In this case, I wonder what would happen if you chose one grid and did it in, say, green?

so thats what the guy that left perplexing comments about my artwork a month ago looks like.
